U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 803. Art. 3. Jurisdiction to try certain personnel
(a) Subject to section 843 of this title (article 43), a person
who is in a status in which the person is subject to this chapter
and who committed an offense against this chapter while formerly in
a status in which the person was subject to this chapter is not
relieved from amenability to the jurisdiction of this chapter for
that offense by reason of a termination of that person's former
status.
(b) Each person discharged from the armed forces who is later
charged with having fraudulently obtained his discharge is, subject
to section 843 of this title (article 43), subject to trial by
court-martial on that charge and is after apprehension subject to
this chapter while in the custody of the armed forces for that
trial. Upon conviction of that charge he is subject to trial by
court-martial for all offenses under this chapter committed before
the fraudulent discharge.
(c) No person who has deserted from the armed forces may be
relieved from amenability to the jurisdiction of this chapter by
virtue of a separation from any later period of service.
(d) A member of a reserve component who is subject to this
chapter is not, by virtue of the termination of a period of active
duty or inactive-duty training, relieved from amenability to the
jurisdiction of this chapter for an offense against this chapter
committed during such period of active duty or inactive-duty
training.
