Serbian term

Vojni Sud

Non-PRO Serbian to English Law/Patents Government / Politics
I am trying to translate "Vojni Sud u ..." in a correct way and so far, I am thinking of either "Military Court" or "Army Court". Could anyone help in clarifying this minute difference?

Thanks much,
R

Military Court

Definitely "military court" or "military tribunal". "Military", in addition to being the opposite of "civilian", refers to the armed forces as a whole, while the "Army" is that branch of the a.f. that fights on land, in contrast to the Navy and the Air Force.
