The Intelligence Corps is a corps of the British Army - its members are serving soldiers. So, no, it's not possible to be in the Int Corps without joining the Army!

NB In the British Armed Forces "Military Intelligence" means the intelligence services of the Army (Int Corps), Navy (Intelligence Branch), and Air Force (Air Intelligence/ Reconnaissance), plus the Defence Intelligence Staff of the Ministry of Defence. These focus on military operational intelligence (eg location, type, order of battle etc of hostile forces; field and operational security, deception etc; enemy capabilities/ facilities - supply lines, fuel & ammo dumps, airfields etc; communication interception etc etc), and are concerned with on-going or likely war fighting needs.

It does NOT include the Security Service (MI5), Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), which are civilian agencies of the UK Government whose intelligence gathering remit is far wider than matters of purely military significance. The "MI" ("Military Intelligence") designation is an historical anomaly dating back to the days before there were properly founded military intelligence organisations in the Army and Royal Navy; no longer accurate, nor appropriate, and rarely, in fact, used by the organisations themselves!

When does civilian law supersede military law?

Civilian law is typically always in place. Military law is only invoked in extreme emergencies. However, military personnel are always subject to military law. The Adjutant General will negotiate with the civilian authorities if there is any situation where it is not definite as to which takes precedence. Actually, in the United States, no military person (or, for that matter, anyone other than the Judical Branch) can arbitrarily decide to enforce military law in a place where it is not currently in place. Not even the President can decide to apply military law in a place where civil law is currently in force (indeed, this is one of the major contentious issues around the classification of terrorists as "enemy combatants", and the legality of this move is still being subject to litigation). The misnowmer "martial law" does not actually apply Military Law, but rather enforce a certain subsection of civilian law. For instance, let's say that there is major rioting in a city, and the National Guard is called in to restore order, and "martial law" is declared by the city's major (or perhaps, the state governor). Members of the National Guard are subject to Military law, and any infractions they commit will naturally be covered by military trial. HOWEVER, should a National Guardsman capture a looter (or other criminal), they are then prosecuted under CIVILIAN LAW, even though "martial law" was declared. Martial law in this case is a specific subsection of civilian law, which criminalizes certain activities which are normally permissible under ordinary civilian law. Back to the original question: as Congress is the creator of both military and civilian law, it can decide whether civilian or military law applies in a situation where the military normally has first jurisdiction. There are a myriad number of places this can occur, so naming them all is not possible. In addition, the Constitution is still the highest law of the land, and is supreme over both military and civilian law. Do note that many crimes are not covered by military law, but only civilian law, so it is entirely possible for a person normally subject to military jurisdiction to be prosecuted by civilian authorities without military acquiecence. For example, Insider Trading is a civilian crime, with no military equivalent, so it would be entirely possible to charge a military serviceperson on a military base with this civilian crime.


Can a Military Police officer become a police officer after service?

Of course an MP can become a civilian police officer after military service. He or she applies just as one without any police experience would apply. He or she will go through the police academy as a recruit the same way as those without experience. They will find the training easier than a raw recruit but the training is substantianaly different than the military since it addresses civilian procedures and laws.

Can you take marine recon training without becoming a marine?

No, you will not be allowed, unless you are doing so through agreement with another service. The military does not equip civilians with training that has no civilian bearing. It would not be appropriate.


What is the difference between military mentality and civilian mentality?

I was a military spouse. In my experience, Military Mentality has a lot to do with the structure. They do as they are told without question. There is no asking someone else. There is no "rights". There is no appeal process. If a superior officer says 'no', they don't appeal, don't ask a second time. However a Civilian Mentality is quite the opposite. We are taught as Americans to question authority (respectfully, of course). If we don't like the answer, get a second opinion or appeal to a higher power/court.I know I would never be successful under the Military Mentality expectation, so I did not serve. It is difficult for many in the military to transition from one to another.
