court-martialled
Faced military tribunal
Court-martialled is the past tense of court-martial, meaning tried by a military court for offenses under military law: He was court-martialled for desertion.
The spelling with double L is standard in British English; American English uses court-martialed.
A court-martial handles violations that civilian courts don't address—insubordination, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming an officer.
