| Art. 128 Assault | 7 | 54% | 19% |
| Art. 128b Domestic violence | 4 | 31% | 26% |
| Art. 134 General article | 2 | 15% | 22% |
| Art. 90 Willfully disobeying superior officer | 2 | 15% | 6% |
| Art. 115 Communicating threats | 1 | 8% | 2% |

Confinement in Every Conviction
Of 11 convictions, 11 carried confinement. The median confinement was 4 months, shorter than the 8 months for the Army as a whole. Among those sentences, a quarter were 9 months or longer.
These are adjudged sentences, set at trial before any plea-agreement cap, clemency, or appeal. Each covers every charge in the case.
Bad-Conduct Discharges
A punitive discharge followed 64% of enlisted convictions. All 7 were bad-conduct discharges, and 0 were dishonorable. Across the Army, the share was 73%.
A sentence without a punitive discharge does not rule out a later administrative separation, which these records do not track.
More Contested Cases Than the Army as a Whole
The accused pleaded guilty in 9 cases and contested 4. A case is contested when the accused pleads not guilty to at least one charge. The contested share was 31%, compared with 20% across the Army. Of the 4 contested cases that reached a verdict, 2 ended in a full acquittal.
A military judge alone decided guilt in 10 of 13 cases (77%). Members heard 3: 2 enlisted panels and 1 officer panel.
Junior Enlisted Members and General Courts-Martial
The accused were 9 junior enlisted members, 3 NCOs, and 1 officer. That group is more junior than the Army as a whole.
General courts-martial made up 9 of the 13 cases (69%), compared with 66% across the Army. A general court-martial can impose any lawful sentence. A special court-martial caps confinement at one year and cannot impose a dishonorable discharge.
Fort Drum and Fort Stewart
Fort Drum and Fort Stewart each tried 20 cases in 2025. Their median confinement was 5 months and 6 months. Their punitive discharge shares for enlisted members were 94% and 100%, both higher than at Camp Humphreys.
Both had fewer contested cases: 15% at Fort Drum and 5% at Fort Stewart.
| Installation | Cases | Contested | Full acquittals (decided contested) | Median confinement | Punitive discharge (enlisted) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Camp Humphreys | 13 | 31% | 2 of 4 | 4 months | 64% |
| Fort Drum | 20 | 15% | 2 of 2 | 5 months | 94% |
| Fort Stewart | 20 | 5% | 0 of 1 | 6 months | 100% |
Rule Changes and What Is Missing
Since December 28, 2023, special trial counsel, not commanders, decide whether to prosecute covered offenses such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and murder. New sentencing parameters apply when every guilty finding is for an offense after December 27, 2023. The records give trial dates, not offense dates, so they cannot show which rules applied.
The records also do not describe the evidence or the plea terms, and they do not show cases handled by nonjudicial punishment or administrative separation.
