Military Courts (Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, Army Courts Martial, Navy-Marine Corps Courts Martial, Air Force Courts Martial, Coast Guard Courts Martial)

Military courts are specialized legal systems for the U.S. Armed Forces, handling cases involving service members. The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces reviews decisions from military trials (courts-martial), ensuring they comply with the law. Each branch, including the Army, Navy-Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, has its own courts-martial to prosecute crimes under military law. The Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals specifically addresses cases from the Coast Guard. These courts ensure discipline, justice, and adherence to both military and constitutional law, functioning parallel to federal courts but focused on military personnel.
