Appendix 21 Rule for court martial 201

CHAPTER II. JURISDICTION
Rule 201 Jurisdiction in general
Introduction. The primary source of court-martial jurisdiction is
Art. I, sec. 8, cl. 14 of the Constitution, which empowers Congress
to make rules for the government and regulation of the
armed forces of the United States. Courts-martial are recognized
in the provisions of the fifth amendment expressly exempting
“cases arising in the land or naval forces” from the requirement
of presentment and indictment by grand jury. See also Part I,
Preamble, for a fuller discussion of the nature of courts-martial
and the sources of their jurisdiction.
(a) Nature of court-martial jurisdiction. Subsection (1) reiterates
the first sentence of the second paragraph of paragraph 8 of
MCM, 1969 (Rev.).

Courts-martial generally have the power to resolve
issues which arise in connection with litigating criminal liability
and punishment for offenses, to the extent that such resolution is
necessary to a disposition of the issue of criminal liability or
punishment.
Subsection (2) restates the worldwide extent of court-martial
jurisdiction. Article 5. See Autry v. Hyde, 19 U.S.C.M.A. 433, 42
C.M.R. 35 (1970). The discussion points out that, despite the
worldwide applicability of the code, geolineartal considerations
may affect court-martial jurisdiction. See R.C.M. 202 and 203.—————–
