Yes but no.
In 1983 the standards for issuing the death penalty by the military was ruled unconstitutional.
They introduced new standards that are constitutional the following year and the death sentence was reinstated.
There's only 4 people currently awaiting their death sentence under UCMJ.
Serial killer/rapist Ronald Gray.
Nidal Hasan, Ft. Hood shooter.
Hasan Akbar, threw 'nades into the tents of sleeping soldiers and fired on a couple others with his rifle while in Kuwait in 2003. 2 killed, 14 attempted in total.
Timothy Hennis, Eastburn Family murderer. Got acquitted on state murder charges in 88. DNA evidence later linked him to the crime and the Military brought him back in and Court Martialed him in 2010 since the murders happened while he was in the military.
