10 U.S.C. § 7452 — Cadets: hazing

(a) With the Secretary of the Army's approval, the Academy's Superintendent must write regulations that define hazing, aim to prevent it, and set out dismissal, suspension, or other fitting punishments for cadets who violate them. (b) If a cadet is charged with breaking one of these hazing rules and the punishment could be dismissal, the cadet can ask in writing for a trial by general court-martial. If the cadet makes that request, the Academy cannot dismiss the cadet for that offense unless a court-martial actually sentences the cadet. (c) A cadet dismissed from the Academy for hazing cannot be reappointed to the Corps of Cadets. That cadet also cannot become a commissioned officer in the regular Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force until two years after the cadet's class graduates.
