Lt. Daniel Kaffee finally makes Col. Jessup admit that he was giving the order for a Code Red. Dawson and Downey are found 'not guilty' on most charges, but 'guilty' on the charge of conduct unbecoming a US Marine. Though they avoid jail time, they are dishonourably discharged from the Marines.

Lt. Daniel Kaffee: My client is a moron. That's not against the law.
Trivia: All of Jack Nicholson's scenes were filmed in only 10 days.
Question: What's the significance of PFC Louden Downey not being in his room when the "Code Red" was given?
Answer: The point is that he wasn't there when the lieutenant ordered the code red. The lance corporal told him LT Kendrick had ordered the code red, but since he didn't hear it himself he couldn't testify to that fact.
Answer: In addition to the previous answers, it was also particularly devastating to the defense because Kaffee and his team had believed that both Downey and Dawson were present when the order was given; this was what Dawson had led them to believe, since, in his mind, an order from Kendrick via Dawson was the same as an order directly from Kendrick. Therefore, Kaffee et al. were blindsided in open court by the revelation that Downey wasn't there.
