Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act of 2021

This bill would change how the U.S. military handles serious crimes, including sexual assault and other major offenses, by moving the decision to prosecute out of the hands of military commanders. Instead, these legal decisions would be made by independent, experienced military prosecutors who are outside the accused person’s direct chain of command. The goal of this change is to ensure that legal proceedings are handled by trained legal professionals and to increase impartiality and trust in the military justice system.
