(1)The punishment which a court-martial may direct for an offense may not exceed
such limits as prescribed by this code, but in no instance may a sentence exceed
more than ten
(10)years for a military offense, nor shall a sentence of death be
adjudged. A conviction by general court-martial of any military offense for which
an accused may receive a sentence of confinement for more than one
(1)year is a
felony offense. All other military offenses are misdemeanors.
(2)The limits of punishment for violations of the punitive articles prescribed in this
code shall be lesser of the sentences prescribed by the manual for courts-martial of
the United States in effect on January 1, 2004, and the state manual for courts-
martial, but in no instance shall any punishment exceed that authorized by this code.
