AnswerNumber ONe, The U.C.M.J. as its name implies does not apply to civillians. There is no age of consent in the U.C.M.J. because it applies to military personell which are all asssumed to be of legal age (18) just to join the military. If there was an incident involving a military person and a civillian it would most likely be tried in civil court following the laws of the state and country where the incident took place. Also any military personell involved could face a court martial or military tribunal for misconduct

I have never edited an answer before and I don't want to change what was said, but this answer does not address the question. Age of consent according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice is 16 unless the age of consent for the state you are in is higher.

Example: TX age of consent is 17 within three years. If you are 22 or older your age of consent will then be 18. If your states age of consent is 16 well then if she doesn't have her permit you can drive her to school.

After 2007, some parts of the UCMJ (despite the implication of its name) DO apply to civilians working with military in deployed locations.
