Fort Bragg Court-Martial Defense

They Tried to Rename It. But We Know It’s Still Fort Bragg. And We Know How to Fight Here.

The 2026 Battlefield Report: If you are facing a General Court-Martial at Fort Bragg, you are likely caught in one of two specific dragnets: the massive USASOC Drug Crackdown targeting Fentanyl/Meth, or the new, independent OSTC Sexual Assault prosecution machine.

The “friendly” Fayetteville lawyer who plays golf with the JAGs cannot save you from these threats. You need a warfighter who isn’t afraid to burn bridges with the XVIII Airborne Corps.

Threat 1: The USASOC & 82nd Drug Crackdown

Following high-profile scandals involving Special Operations soldiers and drug trafficking rings, CID at Fort Bragg is on a warpath. We are seeing a surge in charges related to Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, and Synthetic Opioids.

How They Build the Case (The “Sting”)

CID is using aggressive tactics to target distribution networks inside the barracks:

  • Darknet & Mail Interdiction: Flagging packages arriving at Fort Bragg mail centers containing precursors or pills.
  • Barracks Sweeps: “Health and Welfare” inspections that are actually targeted searches based on rumors.
  • Digital Forensics: Extracting Signal/WhatsApp messages to find distribution networks.

Our Defense Strategy: Destroy the Snitch

The entire government case often rests on the word of a “Snitch”—a soldier who is lying to save their own skin.

We expose their motive. We show the jury that the informant is biased, unreliable, and desperate. We challenge the chain of custody. If they didn’t follow the exact protocol for that controlled buy, the evidence is garbage.


Threat 2: The OSTC (Office of Special Trial Counsel)

As of 2025, the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) handles all Article 120 (Sexual Assault) cases. These are not your Commander’s lawyers. They are independent, specialized prosecutors whose only metric for success is conviction rate.

The “Pretext Call” Trap

Before you are even charged, OSTC investigators will often coach the accuser to call you. This is a “Pretext Call.”

They will say: “Why did you do that to me?”

You might say: “I’m sorry, I thought you wanted to.”

Boom. That apology is recorded and used as a confession to sexual assault.

Our Defense Strategy: The “Scorched Earth” Approach

We do not rely on character letters. We rely on evidence.

Digital Forensics: We extract the “deleted” messages the accuser didn’t want the police to see.

Timeline Reconstruction: We use Uber receipts, gate logs, and geolocation to prove their story is impossible.

Psychological Cross-Examination: We expose false memories and motives to lie without bullying the witness.
