The Military Justice Act of 2016 (MJA 2016) made important changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It split Article 128 Assault into three different offenses

• Article 128 Assault
• Article 128a Maiming
• Article 128b Domestic Violence

What is Article 128b Domestic Violence?

These amendments, effective January 1, 2019, mandated standardized procedures for handling domestic violence cases within the military. Understanding the text of Article 128b, a person can be charged if they:

• Commit a violent offense against a spouse, intimate partner, or immediate family member
• Intimidate or threaten a family member through an offense against a person, property, or animal
• Violate a protection order with intent to threaten or commit a violent act
• Strangle or suffocate a spouse, intimate partner, or immediate family member

If convicted, the punishment is determined by a court-martial and can lead to severe consequences.
