How it's used
This term is strictly formal and legalistic, reflecting its origins in military law. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing historical events, news reports, or dramatic portrayals of military life. Unlike everyday verbs, it functions as a noun phrase that typically requires a supporting verb like 接受 or 被 to form a complete action.
Examples
He has to face a court-martial for violating military discipline.
