Who is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)?

Only active duty members
All members of the armed forces
Civilians working for the military
Only reservists

The correct answer is: All members of the armed forces

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) applies to all members of the armed forces, which includes active duty, reservists, and members of the National Guard when they are on federal active duty. The UCMJ provides a comprehensive legal framework governing the conduct of service members, establishing rules for military discipline, procedures for courts-martial, and the scope of legal rights. This comprehensive application ensures that all military personnel adhere to the same standards of conduct, promoting order and discipline within the ranks, regardless of their duty status. Civilians working for the military are generally governed by civilian laws rather than the UCMJ, and thus are not subject to the same military justice system.
