Can you explain that to me? I don't think this is true, but maybe I'm missing something...
According to the military:
The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) itself is a federal law, enacted by congress.

Exploring the affiliation between military law and federal law requires an understanding that military law is indeed a specialized area within the federal legal system. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which governs military personnel, is a federal law—passed by Congress—which means it’s subject to federal oversight and amendments.
Much like the civilian legal counterpart, military law interfaces with overarching federal statutes. For one, military courts derive their authority from federal law, specifically Article I of the U.S. Constitution. However, they function separately from the civilian federal court system, with unique procedures and courts, such as courts-martial and military commissions.
