I've done some further wikification. But the article needs a little more work, I feel. --BillC 17:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good work

This is an exceptional start. I'll assit in editing where I can. Hadrian Penn 02:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It needs some work to reflect current practice in the US military; particularly in the roles of convening authorities and military judges. Posthoc777 07:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

The article calls out the acronym "JSC" in the fifth paragraph of Section 5. What's it stand for?

"JSC" is the Joint Services Committee. I've made the change to reflect the full name before the acronym is used. In summary, a representative from each service sits on the committee and they review proposed changes to the UCMJ and MCM as well as propose changes prior to sending them to Congress or the President. I'll try to insert a short piece on it. Hadrian Penn 15:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
