The Academy must define and prohibit hazing and set punishments, subject to the Secretary’s approval. A cadet facing possible dismissal may request a general court-martial, and a cadet dismissed for hazing faces later appointment limits.
(a) Subject to the Secretary of the Army’s approval, the Superintendent must issue regulations that—(1) define hazing; (2) are designed to prevent it; and (3) set dismissal, suspension, or another adequate punishment for violations. (b) If a cadet is charged with violating such a regulation and dismissal is or may be the penalty, the cadet may request a general court-martial in writing. The cadet may not be dismissed for that offense except under that court’s sentence. (c) A cadet dismissed for hazing may not be reappointed to the Corps of Cadets and may not be appointed a commissioned officer* in a Regular Army*, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force component until two years after the cadet’s class graduates.
Subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Army*, the Superintendent of the Academy shall issue regulations—
defining hazing;
designed to prevent that practice; and
prescribing dismissal, suspension, or other adequate punishment for violations.
If a cadet who is charged with violating a regulation issued under subsection (a), the penalty for which is or may be dismissal from the Academy, requests in writing a trial by a general court-martial, he may not be dismissed for that offense except under sentence of such a court.
A cadet dismissed from the Academy for hazing may not be reappointed to the Corps of Cadets, and is ineligible for appointment as a commissioned officer* in a regular component of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force, until two years after the graduation of his class.
