  3. What is UCMJ Investigation? UCMJ stands for Uniform Code of Military Justice. An Investigation Under UCMJ refers to the process of gathering evidence and determining whether a service member has violated the military criminal code. The investigation may be conducted by military law enforcement or by a command-directed inquiry, and if evidence of a violation is found, the service member may face court-martial proceedings.

  4. How Does COURT MARTIAL DEFENSE Work? Court Martial Defense is the legal representation provided to military service members facing court-martial proceedings. The defense attorney helps the service member understand the charges against them, investigates the case and gather evidence, and advocates for the service member's innocence or a reduced punishment. The defense attorney is responsible for ensuring that the service member's rights are protected throughout the court-martial process, and will work to negotiate a plea deal or represent the service member in trial.

  5. What is NonJudicial Punishment (NJP) Article 15? Nonjudicial punishment (NJP), also known as Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), is a form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a member of the military without a court-martial. It is typically used for minor offenses and is administered by a commanding officer or other designated authority. The punishment can include restrictions, extra duties, and loss of pay, but it does not result in a criminal record or a dishonorable discharge. NJP allows commanders to maintain good order and discipline within their unit without resorting to the more formal and severe process of a court-martial

  6. What A GOMOR Is And What It Is Not A GOMOR, or "General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand," is a form of administrative punishment that can be issued by a general officer (O-7 or higher) to a member of the military. It is used to document and address behavior or performance that is considered unacceptable or in violation of military regulations. A GOMOR is not a criminal conviction and it is not a court-martial, it is an administrative action that can be used to document and address behavior or performance that is considered unacceptable or in violation of military regulations.

  7. What’s At Stake During An Administrative Separation Board An Administrative Separation board is a formal process where a service member's fitness for continued military service is evaluated by a panel of military officers. The outcome of the board can result in the service member being separated from the military, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Factors considered during the board include the service member's conduct, performance, and any medical or psychological conditions that may affect their ability to serve. The service member has the right to be represented by a legal counsel, and to present evidence and testimony on their own behalf.

  8. How Fight For The Career And Benefits You’ve Earned Administrative Separation Boards are perhaps the military’s method to end a career when all else fails. There is not enough to court martial you, so they send you to an administrative separation board. Commander didn’t like your attitude during the NJP process? Welcome to administrative separation. You had a GOMOR permanently filed, administrative separation is next. Think of it in terms of a civilian case, where you are accused of a crime and, because there is not enough evidence to convict you, they just make sure your boss fires you and tattoos a scarlet A right on your forehead.

  9. You Have To Be Prepared To Speak For Yourself Over the years, just about every single admin sep board we won involved the service member testifying and speaking up for his/herself. Far too many military defense counsel fancy themselves the hero, and they hang their client out to dry by keeping him or her on the sidelines. We know what it takes to win, and for us to win, you have to be willing to fight for your own career. The board itself respects and is looking for Those who know how to fight.
