Military law consists of the
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and other statutory provisions for the
government of persons in the Armed
Forces to which may be added the
unwritten common law of the usage and
custom of military service as well as
regulations and authorized by the
President as Commander in Chief of the
Armed Forces. It is a part of our body of law as a whole, and is fully recognized by civil courts; it is in force in time of peace as well as in time of war. All persons serving in the Armed Forces of the United States are subject to military law at all times.
