how many articles are in the ucmj all together
Updated August 12, 2016. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the bedrock of military law. The UCMJ is a federal law, enacted by Congress. Articles 77 through 134 of the UCMJ are known as the punitive articles, -- that is, specific offenses which, if violated, can result in punishment by court-martial. The law requires the Commander-in-Chief (The President of the United States) to implement the provisions of the UCMJ.
