Soldiers learn that under Article 90 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), they are required to follow lawful orders from superior officers, but they also have a legal duty to disobey orders that are clearly unlawful. This understanding emphasizes the importance of military discipline while also protecting servicemembers from being compelled to commit illegal acts.
Understanding Article 90 of the UCMJ
Overview of Article 90
Article 90 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) addresses the willful disobedience of lawful orders from superior commissioned officers. It is a serious offense that emphasizes the importance of military discipline and the chain of command.Legal Duty to Disobey Unlawful Orders
- Duty to Disobey: Soldiers are legally obligated to disobey orders that are unlawful. This means they must refuse commands that violate the law or the Constitution.
- Criteria for Lawfulness: An order is considered lawful if it:
- Relates directly to military duty.
- Is issued by an officer with proper authority.
- Complies with constitutional rights and applicable laws.
Consequences of Violating Article 90
- Punishments: The penalties for violating Article 90 can be severe:
- In wartime, it can lead to death or other court-martial-directed punishments.
- In peacetime, it may result in a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay, and confinement for up to five years.
Defense Against Article 90 Charges
- Challenging the Order: A primary defense is to prove that the order was unlawful. Examples of potentially unlawful orders include:
- Commands to commit illegal acts (e.g., assault).
- Orders that serve no legitimate military purpose.
- Directives that violate constitutional protections.
Conclusion
Soldiers learn that while they must follow lawful orders, they also have a critical responsibility to disobey any orders that are illegal. This understanding is essential for maintaining both military discipline and adherence to the law.You are wrong, unless the dude is Trump. He said you should not follow ILLEGAL orders. Can you understand that it was correct and they have no case?
