Military

Military law does not generally supersede civilian law. Certain jurisdictional exceptions apply during official emergencies. However, active duty members must adhere to legal procedures and respect constitutional rights when following military orders. 

Article 15 offenses are minor offenses that can be punished within the military justice system without a formal court-martial. The commanding officer typically handles these offenses and involves infractions like disobedience, disrespect, and minor misconduct. 

A UCMJ Charge 120 is a military offense related to disrespecting a superior officer. This offense can involve disobedience, disparaging comments, threats, and other disrespectful gestures. A UCMJ Charge 120 can be a serious offense, and the penalties can range from administrative punishment to court-martial proceedings.
