Military members face considerable jeopardy in court-martial trials.
You have the right to hire a civilian criminal defense lawyer; your military appointed lawyer will become co-counsel on your case.
In the military justice system there are three types of court-martial - General Court-Martial, Special Court-Martial, and Summary Court-Martial.
Only General Courts-Martial and Special Courts-Martial are actual federal criminal trials; Summary Courts-Martial are, essentially, enhanced administrative hearings that do not result in a federal criminal conviction because they do not afford a military accused the same due process rights as required for an actual federal criminal trial.

An involuntary administrative discharge (also called administrative separation) is a very serious adverse action in which the military is attempting to terminate the employment of the military member - in other words, the military is trying to kick the member out of the military.
Finding yourself facing an involuntary administrative discharge from the military can be a life-changing and heartbreaking experience, resulting in loss of benefits, educational opportunities, and career aspirations.
Fortunately, you have options to fight this discharge, and you do not have to do it alone.
