Defending Soldiers' Rights
The UCMJ Isn’t Easily Understood by All Trainees
When a service member comes to Fort Benning Georgia it can be a PCS or for training. They may be a new Soldier out of Basic or AIT, a senior enlisted personnel, or even a decorated Army officer. However, one thing that we have found that they all have in common is a less than thorough understanding of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In fact, We’d go so far as to suggest that the first time many of these Soldiers ever read a particular article of the UCMJ is after they were charged with it.
Not to mention, that might very well be how you found yourself on this webpage today. If so, that’s ok, because you are in the right place. The UCMJ is a double edged sword that can provide the good order and discipline needed to win on the battlefield while simultaneously being the hammer that crushes the careers of men and women who risked all on the battlefield. That is due in large part to the fact that the military justice system understands the UCMJ like the back of their hand, while those who are charged under it are often at the mercy of a free court appointed military defense attorney.

- UCMJ Article 120 & 134 (Sex Offenses): Covers serious charges like rape and sexual assault. Fort Benning’s unique environment may lead to accusations, where we emphasize innocence until proven guilty, protecting careers from unjust allegations.
