The United States v. Bradley Manning involves the court-martial of United States Army Private First Class Bradley E. Manning. Manning was arrested in May 2010 in Iraq, where he had been stationed since October 2009, on suspicion of having passed classified material to the whistleblower website, WikiLeaks. He was charged with a number of offenses, including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source, and aiding the enemy.

He was ordered to stand trial on February 3, 2012. No trial date has been set.

Article 32 hearing

Manning was deemed fit to stand trial after being examined by a panel of medical experts, who reported their decision in April 2011. An Article 32 hearing was opened on December 16, 2011, at Fort Meade, Maryland, to determine whether there was sufficient evidence to proceed. The presiding officer, Lt. Col. Paul Almanza, recommended that he be tried by court-martial.

On February 3, 2012, Major General Michael Linnington, commanding general of the Military District of Washington, ordered that Manning stand trial. He was arraigned on February 23 at Fort Meade, and declined to enter a plea.
