Jurisdiction on foreign soil is determined by the SOFA (support of forces agreement) that is signed by the countries involved. In most cases, the country that has the installation on foreign soil will maintain jurisdiction within the confines of the installation. In cases of crimes committed by host nation citizens within the installation the SOFA will define the jurisdiction. Military members will always be subject to the UCMJ abroad as well as at home.
