The panel of five jurors, all of whom are male Army generals, will begin hearing Sinclair's case Sept. 30.
The last juror seated was Maj. Gen. Donald C. Leins of the Joint Staff at the Pentagon.
He joined Maj. Gen. M. Ted Wong, commanding general of the Northern Regional Medical Command; Maj. Gen. Dean G. Sienko, commanding general of Army Public Health Command; Maj. Gen. Paul E. Crandall, deputy chief of staff for United States Forces Korea; and Maj. Gen. John Wharton, commanding general of the U.S. Army Sustainment Command.
The jurors will be told of Sinclair's three-year adulterous affair with a captain under his command. She has accused him of twice forcing her to perform oral sex - one of numerous accusations that Sinclair faces stemming from the affair and its subsequent investigation.
