This judicial scope covers the criminal material whose members consist of members of the Dutch army in Indonesia ( Dutch East Indies ) ie Dutch Colonial Army and Navy . To note , the Navy is an integral part of the kingdom of the Netherlands Navy ( Koninklijke Marine ) , whereas the KNIL is a separate organization within the meaning of the kingdom regardless of tentatara Netherlands ( Koninklijke Leger ) . On this basis the KNIL examined and judged by Krijgsraad for the first level and Hoog Militair Gerechtshop on appeal , while the navy members examined and judged by Zee Krijraad and Hoog Militair Shoof Gerecht .

Military Justice Undag established after the issuance of Law No. 7 of 1946 on the Rules of Court entered the Army in addition to the ordinary courts , on June 8, 1946 , approximately 8 months after the birth of the Indonesian Armed Forces . During this legal vacuum , applicable law and military discipline is also issued in conjunction with Law No. 8 of 1946 on Criminal Proceedings to peradila Army .

With the issuance of the above two laws , the regulations in the field of military justice that existed in the days before the proclamation , both formal and material not treated anymore .

In Act No. 7 of 1946 Penradilan soldiers divided into two (2 ) levels , namely :
