The offenses include sexual assault, domestic violence and murder. The president’s order changing the Uniform Code of Military Justice is the final step of a law passed by Congress last year. “The historic reforms announced today will better protect victims and ensure prosecutorial decisions are fully independent from the chain of the command,” the White House said in a statement.
The order establishes rules for the Offices of Special Trial Counsel, established last July, and makes clear that prosecutorial decisions made by the office are binding and fully independent of the chain of command.
