Stewart - Tags: Understanding Trends, Article 107, Article 93 [Trends](https://www.bodiesburied.com/trends/) › [By Offense](https://www.bodiesburied.com/trends/by-offense/) › [Article 107](https://www.bodiesburied.com/trends/article-107-courts-martial/) › With Article 93 **Short answer:** The records list 15 Army, Navy, and Marine Corps courts-martial from 2013–2026 that charged both Article 107 (false official statement) and Article 93 (maltreatment). 80% of the cases with a recorded plea were contested, compared with 34% in all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107\. The median confinement was 2.7 years, against 6 months. Based on 15 cases · 2013–2026 · Army, Navy, and Marine Corps records · data updated October 24, 2026 ## Most Cases Were Contested The plea appears in 10 of the 15 records. 8 of those cases were contested and 2 were guilty pleas. A contested case is one where the accused pleaded not guilty to at least one charge. The contested share of 80% compares with 34% in all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107. ## NCOs Made Up Most of the Accused Among the accused with rank recorded, 12 were NCOs, 1 was a junior enlisted member, and 1 was an officer. The sheet describes the group as more senior than all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107. ## Confinement Measured in Years The records show 13 convictions, and 9 of them carried confinement. The middle term was 2.7 years. For all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107, it was 6 months. A quarter of the terms with confinement were 4 years or longer. The numbers are adjudged sentences for all charges in a case. They come before any plea-agreement cap, clemency, or appeal. ## Other Charges Article 93 was charged in all 15 cases. Article 134 (general article) appeared in 8, Article 128 (assault) in 7, Article 92 (orders violation) in 7, and Article 120 (sexual assault) in 5\. Sentences reflect these other charges as well. ## Discharges 12 enlisted members were convicted. 7 of them received a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge (58%), about as often as in all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107 (60%). 5 of the 7 were dishonorable. The records include 1 convicted officer or warrant officer, who was dismissed. Without a punitive discharge, a later administrative separation is still possible. ## General and Special Courts-Martial There were 7 general and 8 special courts-martial. The general share, 47%, compares with 43% in all Army, Navy, and Marine Corps cases charging Article 107\. Only the general level can impose a dishonorable discharge or more than one year of confinement. ## Trial Years Trials ran from January 2013 to June 2026: 1 in 2013, 2 in 2017, 1 in 2019, 2 in 2020, 5 in 2021, 2 in 2022, 1 in 2023, and 1 in 2026, a partial year. ## Rules and Gaps The Military Justice Act of 2016 took effect on January 1, 2019, and special trial counsel took over charging decisions for covered offenses such as sexual assault on December 28, 2023\. These rules turn on offense dates, which the records do not give. The records do not describe the evidence or plea terms. Cases handled through nonjudicial punishment or administrative separation are not included.

Air Force cases are left out because Air Force records rarely list the charges in acquittals.
