Updated August 12, 2016. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the bedrock of military law. The UCMJ is a federal law, enacted by Congress. Articles 77 through 134 of the UCMJ are known as the punitive articles, -- that is, specific offenses which, if violated, can result in punishment by court-martial. The law requires the Commander-in-Chief (The President of the United States) to implement the provisions of the UCMJ.
Once you enlist in the military, you become subject immediately to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The Code was created by Congress after World War II to address the need for a standardized, fair system of criminal justice for all branches of the military.(Before the UCMJ was enacted, soldiers were subject to the Articles of War, which could be arbitrary and unfair.).The Uniform Code of Military Justice provides specific definitions of crimes and explains the discipline that can carried out for violations of crimes.mportantly, it provides procedural protections for service members, such as appeals for courts-martial convictions. The UCMJ Criminal Code contains the same types of crimes as civilian law, such as robbery, assault, and murder. In addition, it contains military-specific offenses such as AWOL and insubordination.
