Courts-martial may punish noncapital crimes, discrediting conduct, and other conduct harmful to military order by people subject to this chapter. The section also covers equivalent conduct outside the United States.

Even if this chapter does not specifically mention them, general, special, or summary courts-martial must take notice of, and may punish at their discretion, disorders and neglects harmful to good order and discipline, conduct that discredits the armed forces, and noncapital crimes and offenses by people subject to this chapter, according to the offense’s nature and seriousness. “Crimes and offenses not capital” includes conduct outside the United States, as defined in section 5 of title 18, that would be a noncapital crime or offense if done within the United States’ special maritime and territorial jurisdiction, as defined in section 7 of title 18.
