Military Law Summary

Produces a standalone structured summary of a military law matter — court-martial, disciplinary action, regulatory issue, or appellate decision — for JAG officers, command staff, and practitioners.

Quick Start

Collect source materials: court-martial decisions, appellate opinions (CAAF, service CCAs), UCMJ provisions, MCM guidance, administrative records, or service regulations.
Identify matter details: service branch, rank/status, proceeding type (Article 15, summary/special/general court-martial, admin separation, appellate review).
Produce the summary using the output structure below.

Output Structure

1. Header Block

Field	Content
Matter	Case name or regulatory matter identifier
Service Branch	Army / Navy / Air Force / Marines / Coast Guard / Space Force
Personnel	Rank, status, role
Proceeding Type	Article 15 / Summary CM / Special CM / General CM / Admin separation / Appellate review / Regulatory
UCMJ Articles	Charged articles (e.g., Art. 120, Art. 134)
Disposition Date	Date of decision or action
Reviewing Authority	CAAF / Service CCA / Convening authority / Other

2. Factual Background

Core facts in chronological order
Relevant military context (unit, deployment status, command relationship)
Nature of alleged offenses or regulatory issues

3. Procedural History

Charges preferred and referred; forum and plea
Findings by article and specification
Sentence imposed
Post-trial convening authority action
Appellate history (CCA, CAAF, Supreme Court if applicable)

4. Legal Analysis

Per significant issue:

Issue: Framed as a question
Standard of review: De novo, abuse of discretion, factual sufficiency, etc.
Controlling authority: UCMJ article, MCM provision, binding precedent
Reasoning: How authority was applied to facts
Holding: Outcome
Dissents/concurrences: Key reasoning if any

Note divergence from civilian criminal law where relevant.

5. Elements and Evidence (Offense Cases)

Element	Evidence Presented	Sufficiency
{Element}	{Key evidence}	Met / Not met

6. Administrative Matters (If Applicable)

Applicable standard (characterization of service, fitness-for-duty, clearance adjudication)
Deference afforded to military decision-makers
Collateral consequences: benefits, veteran status, employment impact

7. Practical Implications

Effect on future practice and command guidance
Changes to established precedent
Unresolved questions or anticipated developments
Actionable takeaways for advisors and commanders

Pitfalls and Checks

Citations: Use standard military format — UCMJ articles (Art. 32, UCMJ), MCM rules (R.C.M. 1001), CAAF opinions (United States v. Smith, 80 M.J. 200 (C.A.A.F. 2020)). Mark unverified citations with [VERIFY].
Do not conflate with civilian procedure: Military justice is a distinct framework. Flag where military due process diverges (command influence, military judge authority, unlawful command influence).
Phase awareness: Identify pre-trial, trial, post-trial/clemency, or appellate posture and tailor analysis accordingly.
Constitutional rights in military context: Address Art. 31(b) vs. Miranda, search authorization vs. warrant (4th Amend.), First Amendment limits for service members.
Neutral posture: Do not advocate; summarize analytically.
Standalone completeness: Summary must be usable without the underlying source documents.
