If you find yourself at the center of a Criminal Investigation Division (CID) investigation, you understand the daunting nature of the experience firsthand. CID handles serious allegations within the U.S. Army, and the outcome of their investigations can have a profound impact on your career and future.
Hello, I’m Cody Harnish, a military defense attorney. I’m here to provide you with guidance and representation during this challenging time.
Understanding the Aftermath of a CID Investigation
After CID completes its investigation, several potential outcomes may arise based on the evidence gathered:
1. No Action: If the investigation concludes without sufficient evidence to support charges, you may not face any consequences.
2. Non-Judicial Punishment: For less serious offenses, your commander may choose non-judicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). This could involve additional duties and or a reduction in rank.
3. Court-Martial: In cases involving more severe allegations, you may be subject to a court-martial. This formal process can lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment and dishonorable discharge.
4. Administrative Actions: Regardless of a court-martial, you may still face administrative repercussions, such as reprimands or separation from service.
