A special court-martial is equivalent to a civilian misdemeanor court. It has jurisdiction over less serious offenses and can impose penalties such as confinement for up to one year, forfeiture of pay, and reduction in rank. The proceedings involve a judge and a panel of military members, and the accused has the right to legal representation. Special courts-martial aim to maintain discipline while providing a fair trial process within the military justice system.
