The three courts-martial are summary, special, and general. Summary court-martial is the quickest, simplest option for minor offenses and usually handled by a single officer; it’s designed for fast disposition with limited procedures and punishments. Special court-martial sits in the middle, involving a more formal process with a panel of officers and more rights for the accused, suitable for more serious offenses than those handled by a summary court-martial. General court-martial is the most formal and serious, with a military judge and a larger panel, capable of addressing the widest range of offenses and imposing the most severe penalties.

This combination—ranging from least to most formal and serious—is why the full set includes all three types. Options that omit one of these or pair them incorrectly don’t capture the complete structure of courts-martial.
