To be frank I think the correct answer would depend on the remaining context.
A court martial (or courts martial) in US English is a trial by the military or their own personnel. For example, US Army of US Army personnel accused of wrong-doing. The courts-martial of those involved in the Abu Ghraib prison torture scandal would be an example.
Military tribunal is a trial of members of the OPPOSING forces outside the scope of conventional criminal law (Nuremberg, for example).

Sugerencia En mi concepto, para traducir la frase debe refrasearse. Traducir literalmente "sin cortes marciales" sería erróneo. Cualquiera que sea tu elección trata de que sea algo similar a "sin tener que enfrentarme a cortes marciales". Saludos
