What does CMJ mean in MILITARY

The Code of Military Justice (CMJ) is the system of laws that govern military personnel and criminal accountability in the United States. It is created by Congress and applies to all branches of the military. It establishes rules for court-martial proceedings, including regulations on how evidence can be presented, how defendants may defend themselves, and what punishments may be imposed upon conviction.

The Code of Military Justice covers a wide range of offenses relating to military service, including desertion, insubordination, drunkenness, honor violations, conduct unbecoming an officer or soldier, failure to obey orders or regulations, espionage, fraud against the government, theft from government property and wrongful use of public funds.
