I am curious whether the confinement system is still in effect. I heard that in the past it was used as a military disciplinary action and was a system in which soldiers were locked up in confinement. However, there is also talk that it was recently abolished, so I am confused. Military disciplinary action attorney, please answer whether other methods are being used for military discipline or punishment, or whether the confinement system still remains.

Answer to Related Inquiry

As the Military Personnel Management Act was recently amended, many people raised objections to the detention of a person's body, and the confinement system was abolished.

I will answer in detail about the confinement system.


The confinement system was a military disciplinary action that confined a soldier in a place of detention for a period of up to 15 days, and there was controversy that detaining a person without a warrant runs counter to the warrant principle.

The amended Personnel Management Act subdivides the existing military disciplinary actions for soldiers, which were divided into 4 levels, namely demotion, confinement, leave restriction, and disciplinary confinement, into 6 levels, namely demotion, military discipline education, salary reduction, leave reduction, disciplinary confinement, and reprimand.

From the existing disciplinary actions, confinement has disappeared, and military discipline education, salary reduction, and reprimand have been newly established.

Because such legal changes have a significant impact on the disciplinary and punishment procedures within the military, an understanding of military law is important.

A military disciplinary action attorney presents professional solutions for complex military cases.

Therefore, please note that if a problem similar to the above arises, it is necessary to entrust the case to a military disciplinary action attorney with abundant case experience and to establish a thorough punishment defense strategy.
