What happens for misconduct not listed in this law

This section says that military courts can handle any misconduct that harms good order, discipline, or reputation of the state military forces, even if not specifically listed. It also covers crimes that are not capital. The court decides the punishment, and if a crime also breaks state or federal law, jurisdiction follows another section.
