How many articles are there in the UCMJ, including sub-articles?

Explanation:
Think of the UCMJ as a set of main articles, each one a distinct legal provision, with many of those articles further broken into sub-articles that spell out specifics, elements, or related offenses. When you count every main article and every subdivision, you reach 158. The other numbers come from counting only the main articles or from older editions that didn’t include all sub-articles, so they don’t reflect the full current structure. So, including all sub-articles, the total is 158.
