But more or less put them on the straight and narrow. if that doesn't work, then yes... the officer would shot them.

But what about when officers are abusing their authority? Or the Civilians accuse soldiers of rape or theft in the civilian community that a cantonment depends upon for support, and there is evidence that YOUR people did it, but not Which One that did it?

When the fight was still on in 2003, the action for crimes was........ Later.

Into the summer 2003 when it moved to Stability ops and convoy escorts. The Iraqi National Police were press ganged into Iraqi on Iraqi crime. We just followed and enforce "Due Process".

As for what your advocating that is the CID and the IG. The Judge (LTC and above) usually take residence in a nice big safe rear area and the Court is held there.

As for "War Crimes" and criminal acts by Soldiers on Civilians. They go before the Court the Court doesn't come to them.

JAG is both the Prosecutor and the Defense.

Yup, that's why there is too Advocates and a single mil. judge was on the judiciary team. courts that are needed for the full blown courts martial (or to punish offiers of MAJ and higher rank) would see the offender being carted back to the rear where the LTC or Higher Military Judge would deal with them.

The biggest thing I see the Judiciary Detachment dealing with would be crimes that the civilians bring to the attention of the the army in their area but can't deal with on their own. Especially when there ISN'T local legal measures (especially when the military is the only acting government around).
