I do not practice in this particular sub-speciality of medical malpractice law but I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is "yes". One of my professors in law school was actually a retired army colonel who defended military doctors in federal court against medical malpractice claims. Unless the law has changed, I think these cases are heard before a federal judge without a jury. But I could be wrong about that. My instinct tells me that you should be able to contact an attorney in Fayetteville who would be able to provide you with some more definitive direction and advice since its right next to Fort Bragg and more likely to have attorneys in that city who handle these types of matters.
