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.

    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.
