During World War I, soldiers could be court-martialed for various offenses, including insubordination, desertion, and cowardice. The military justice system aimed to maintain discipline and order in the ranks, especially given the high-stress environment of trench warfare. Court-martial proceedings often resulted in severe penalties, including imprisonment or execution, reflecting the seriousness with which military authorities viewed these offenses in the context of wartime. Additionally, some soldiers were court-martialed for acts of self-preservation, which were sometimes misinterpreted as cowardice.

Deserters would be court martialled. The trial usually ended with them being sentenced to be shot at dawn by a 12 man firing squad. In WW2 the only offence for which you could be put to death was mutiny, whereas there were several more in WW1 including cowardice, and striking a superior officer.

The Last Castle
In the US Military, a member of the armed forces, with few exceptions, is not tried by a US State or Federal Court. A court martial is a military tribunal set up to try a military member of a crime.
This is usually carried out by a "Military Tribunal", but may also be done by a senior officer, or in some cases, by a standard criminal or civil court. Many times it is simply called a "court martial", which means military court. This is where the term "court martial" comes from, as in "The soldier was court martialled,"
