Punitive Articles and Nonjudicial Punishment Procedures made by the President in Executive Orders (EO) from 1984 to present and specifically including EO 13825 (8 March 2018). See Appendix 19. This edition also contains amendments to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) made by Military Justice Act of 2016 (Division E of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017) and the NDAAs for Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019. Finally this edition incorporates amendments to the Supplementary Materials accompanying the MCM as published in the Federal Register on December 11 2018.
