• A. 4 sections
• B. 5 sections
• C. 6 sections
• D. 7 sections

Answer: (B)

The Manual for Courts-Martial is organized into five sections. This five‑section structure groups all the material you need to understand military justice into broad, navigable domains, such as who has authority and how trials proceed, what constitutes offenses and penalties under the UCMJ, how evidence is handled, and how decisions are reviewed on appeal. While the exact section titles can vary slightly by edition, the five-section framework is the standard organization.
