Can a military retiree be court-martialed? The short answer is “yes” if you are retired from active duty (both for alleged UCMJ offenses committed during and after service) and “no” if you are retired from the reserves or National Guard. Although this question has come up in the past few years in the political realm (both with retired Lieutenant General Flynn during the Biden administration and retired Captain Mark Kelly during the second Trump administration), the prosecution of retirees is relatively rare. But it does happen and we have successfully represented several retirees facing UCMJ prosecution.

Are you a retired service member under investigation or facing potential court-martial? Recent cases have shown that military retirees can be subject to prosecution for actions taken before or after retirement. The consequences can be severe—from loss of retirement pay to demotion or even imprisonment.
