                      REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES
               COURT   OF  APPEALS   FOR  THE  ARMED FORCES

                     October  1, 2021, to September 30, 2022

      The Judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces submit
their Annual Report on the administration of the Court and military justice during
the October 2021 Term of Court to the Committees on Armed Services of the United
States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, and to the Secretaries
of Defense, Homeland Security, Army, Navy, and Air Force in accordance with Article
146a, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Title 10, United States Code, § 946a.

                     THE  BUSINESS   OF THE   COURT

      During the October 2021 Term of the Court, the Court met its goal of issuing
opinions in all cases heard during the Term prior to the end of the Term. A summary
by the Court staff of selected decisions is presented in Appendix A. Statistical
reporting and graphical representations of the filing and disposition of cases are set
forth in Appendix B.

      Pursuant to public health guidance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Court monitored federal and local responses to the pandemic, adjusted safety
protocols for Court personnel and visitors, reconfigured work spaces for social
distancing, and maintained proper sanitization with minimal contact.

      Since the departure of Judge Scott W. Stucky, the Court has been reduced to a
quorum of four Judges. Because a replacement has yet to be confirmed and appointed,
Chief Judge Kevin A. Ohlson called upon the Court's Senior Judges pursuant to
Article 142(e), UCMJ, to conduct essential business of the Court and hear cases set
for argument on the master docket. Senior Judge Andrew S. Effron heard 6 cases;
Senior Judge Scott W. Stucky heard 5 cases; Senior Judge Susan J. Crawford heard
4 cases; Senior Judge Walter T. Cox heard 4 cases; Senior Judge Margaret A. Ryan
heard 3 cases; and Senior Judge Charles E. Erdmann heard 3 cases.
