Uniform Code of Military Justice

The Uniform Code of Military Justice is the set of laws that govern the conduct of the Stormwind Army and other branches of Stormwind's armed forces. Unlike civilian laws, intended merely to keep order, military law is designed to maintain the honour and integrity of the Kingdom and its servants, as well as good discipline. The Code sets out the standard of conduct that must be maintained by Stormwind's service members, as well as defining the processes by which violators of this standard of conduct may be tried, convicted, and punished.
The Code is in fact in two parts: the actual Uniform Code of Military Justice, which was passed by the House of Nobles in 630 KY, and the Supplemental Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is maintained internally by the Judge Advocate General Corps of the First Regiment. The UCMJ is procedural in nature, laying out the processes of court-martial, while the SUCMJ defines the offenses themselves. Due to the different means by which these Codes were passed, the SUCMJ is more prone to change; notably, the Marshal of the Regiment may freely suspend any or all of the Code at will, with few restrictions.
