Military law, like its civilian counterpart, has different systems and degrees of punishment to address the act of which a servicemember is alleged to have committed. In terms of criminal law, minor military crimes may be disposed of through a non-judicial process set forth in Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, while serious military crimes are tried at a court-martial. However, not all allegations of misconduct necessitate criminal process, instead, military members may face other adverse administrative actions, which although non-criminal, are no less fraught with career ending consequences that may include, administrative separation, show cause boards of inquiry, general officer reprimands (GOMOR), bars to enlistment, and in cases of Cadets, ROTC disenrollment or academic, misconduct and honor boards at the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, New York.
