When You Need an Army Court Martial Lawyer at Fort Meade

Militarylawyers380 The aggressive military lawyers at Gonzalez & Waddington have gained a reputation for defending Soldiers at Army installations such as Fort Meade. If you are stationed at Fort Meade and are under investigation for a military offense, then having the most hard-hitting military criminal defense attorney can be the difference between getting convicted versus winning your case or redeeming your career. Our court martial attorneys represent Fort Meade service members in both criminal and administrative matters to include representing Airmen suspect of sexual assault, drug use, and other crimes under military law.

Unlike the majority of civilian-military lawyers or your free Army counsel, pleading guilty is not something we commonly do. When our Article 120 UCMJ attorneys are retained, we make the US Army to prove their case. We take almost every case to trial and fight the allegations in front of a military panel.

Our Army court-martial results speak for themselves. The suspected Soldier and his or her well-being is our primary concern. Our defense lawyers maintain smaller caseloads than the average free Army military defense lawyer so that we can focus on every trial individually. Your trial will not be outsourced to a random attorney and we will not push you into a guilty plea at the eleventh hour. Our military criminal defense lawyers have defended Army court-martial and administrative separation (ADSEP) cases in the U.S. and around the world.

Named for the general that served as commander of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War, Fort Meade includes the Defense Information School and headquarters for the United States Cyber Command. The Army post operates adjacent Baltimore-Washington Parkway near the Baltimore-Washington Airport. Soldiers that serve at the northeastern United States military intelligence hub sometimes need legal skill to navigate through the choppy waters of military law.

Fort Meade Historical Background

Fort Meade originally went under the name Annapolis Junction on a 30-square mile parcel of land located roughly halfway between Baltimore and Washington D.C. The current army intelligence center tested army vehicles and convoys after the conclusion of World War I to enhance troop mobility over hostile terrain. During World War II and the first decade of the Cold War, Fort Meade operated as an army recruit training facility and prisoner of war camp. The close proximity of Fort Meade to the nation’s capital made the base the perfect setting for housing enemy combatants. Alleged fifth columnists from Italy, Germany, and Japan also spent time incarcerated at Fort Meade towards the end of World War II. Fort Meade transitioned to its current national security role during the 1950s, when the National Security Agency (NSA) moved its headquarters closer to Washington D.C.

Fort Meade Expands Operations

Militarylawyers401During the height of the Cold War, Fort Meade emerged as the preeminent air defense base within the United States. The first Nike Ajax surface-to-air missiles appeared at Fort Meade in December of 1953, which brought Cold War tensions to another level. Fort Meade deployed MIM-23 Hawk missiles during the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Miami region. Bomb disposal experts trained at Fort Meade played integral roles in securing nuclear bombs from the 1964 Savage Mountain B-52 crash. The army base’s role in developing military intelligence cemented in 1977 when the Pentagon merged the Army Intelligence Agency and United States Army Intelligence and Security Command. Army brass established the 70th Intelligence Wing headquarters at Fort Meade in July of 2000.
