United States military jury A United States military jury ( or " Members " , in military parlance ) serves a function similar to an American civilian jury , but with several notable differences . Unlike civilian courts , " Members " of the panel are literally " " judge - and - jury " " in a Military tribunal , due to the role that they play in a General Court - Martial ( which is akin to criminal felony trials for civilians ) or Special Court - Martial ( which is similar to criminal misdemeanor trials for civilians ) . The panel — in addition to arriving at a verdict — also has the responsibility of sentencing the accused ( military parlance for " the defendant " ) , should the accused be found guilty of the charges which have been brought forward by the trial counsel ( or prosecuting attorney ) , a Judge Advocate General . Mechanics . Jury composition . A trio of members may suffice for a Special Court - Martial proceeding , even though greater numbers are allowed . Unlike civilian juries , the Military jury may consist of more than a dozen members . For a General Court - Martial to proceed , there must be at least five members present . Nowadays , a " jury of one ' s peers " are commonplace for civilian criminal trials to proceed . However , Court - martial Members are typically commissioned officers , unless the accused elects that the member pool include enlisted personnel . Verdicts . Members are allowed a single vote toward a verdict , via a secret ballot . While a civilian court requires a unanimous vote among the jury to convict the defendant , a guilty verdict may be arrived at if two - thirds of the members vote the accused guilty of any charges . In addition to swiftly arriving at verdicts , military trials never produce a hung jury .
