What is a General Court-Martial?

The most serious type of military court is the General Court-Martial. A General Court-Martial has the power to try all offenses which are punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). If convicted, it can have your freedom taken away forever.

With a general court-martial, the potential penalties for a person found guilty include:

• Confinement (maximum depends upon offense)
• Dishonorable or Bad Conduct Discharge
• Dismissal for officers
• Forfeiture of all pay and allowances/Fine
