This is a murky area. If the civilian is acting in a purely civilian category, he/she might be tried by the host nation, or with luck, by a court back in the United States. However a civilian working for the DoD will be repatriated to the US and tried before a military court. Note that active-duty military who break local laws are typically handed over to local authorities for trial on their courts; there are several U.S. Navy sailors in Japanese jails serving time for assault, rape, and similar civil offenses.

Can military order civilians in the workplace?

If within military jurisdiction; and utilizing the chain of command, yes. Example: If an E2 (Private) is placed in charge of the mess hall (today probably called a dining facility), he gives all the orders. In the United States, Governors and the President are empowered to declare martial law. Governors would generally avoid this step, however, in favor of directing their own state (National Guard) forces as military support to the civilian government, because under martial law, civilian power structures are supplanted by military structures and the military assumes control over everything.

No, normally army recruiters are active duty military personnel assigned to that specific duty.

What is the age of consent under the U.C.M.J. and how does it apply to civilians?

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.


Can the military enforce civilian law?

Only if they are in the duty position to do so, or the government has called upon military services to support federal laws. But some random service member isn't going to have the authority to enforce any federal laws. You're not going to see me pulling you over for speeding or responding to a car jacking. _________________________________________________________________ Added: Military Special Agents (Enlisted and Officer) in the Air Force, Defence Criminal Investigative Service and Coast Guard, as well as and civilian Police Officers of the Department of Defense are designated to enforce certain Federal Laws against U.S. persons. Usually involving a violation against the military or its members, which includes speeding on or near their instillation's. It is important to note that the Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) are bound by Posse Comitatus Act (PCA). PCA limits these branches of the military from enforcing laws against U.S. persons. The Coast Guard is exempt from PCA and is therefore able to enforce all Federal laws, within their jurisdiction, against any suspect, U.S. citizen or not. Civilian Law Enforcement Officers assigned to the Military, i.e: NCIS, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Army CID (Civilian Special Agents), DOD Police, are allowed to enforce civilian Federal and local statutes against U.S. citizens. Again, usually involving a military victim or suspect. Civilian Police Officers assigned to Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine instillation's have arrest authority over civilians, usually granted through a Memorandum of Understanding with a State, County, or City law enforcement entity.

Why do men and woman that serve in the armed forces have to follow a different set of laws than civilians?

The simplest why I know to illustrate why the people in the armed forces must follow a different set of laws is this illustration. In the military when you are given an order you must obey whether you like it, want to, fear you will be killed or not. Otherwise battles can be lost and people can die. There is no equivalent in civilian life. Law enforcement comes the closest, but the outcome of wars does not depend on them.


Why do soldiers target civilians in war?

No, not from past wars, but they always were involved, one way or another. In today's 21st century, a new type of war has surfaced; the war against terrorism (the Global War on Terrorists). This war involves police work (law enforcement work). For the first time, the US Military (in the middle 1990s) was authorized to operate in and as law enforcement. This was due largely because of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, and the accompanying US Military base closures. With no reason to exist, the US military was faced with "near" extinction (un-employment), and thusly, accepted the NEW ROLE of law enforcement. So...now, "should civilians be military targets in wartime?" Under this new war (on terrorism) and under the new "military", civilians might be more involved than ever before...as the enemy (terrorists) DO NOT wear uniforms, and neither do civilians.
