Two weeks before the collapse of Baghdad during the Iraqi campaign of the US-led global war against radical Islamists, the Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade moved to seize oil fields in northern Iraq. The operation was a tactical effort to preserve resources crucial to a democratic Iraq's recovery and to prevent Saddam Hussein from again unleashing ecologic terrorism on a mass scale. Following the early deployment of stabilizing US military forces into Iraq, privatized contractors representing the Department of Defense, individual armed services, and various US government agencies arrived. Historical practice, existing legislation, and the pragmatic realities of privatized contractor-heavy Iraqi campaign all weigh in favor of using courts-martial jurisdiction over civilian contractors.

In all literature, there is perhaps no more vivid example of a man wrestling with the knowledge of his own guilt than that of Raskolnikov in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment.2 The nineteenth century Russian novel begins with the brutal murder of an old pawnbroker and her sister, and then unfolds into a remarkable tragedy in which the author explores the nature of crime, the human condition, and a young law student's guilt. In federal criminal courts, evidence of an accused's consciousness of guilt is admitted under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b).12 Rule 404(b) expressly allows the use of evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts for purposes of proving things other than character or propensity to commit crime (such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledg...

During the 2003 court term, military appellate courts approached the Military Rules of Evidence (MRE) with a combination of firmness and flexibility, yet the courts demonstrated a willingness to stretch traditional concepts of time as applied to hearsay exceptions and uses of uncharged misconduct evidence. Here, Behan discusses the , which is organized according to the framework of the MRE in the Manual for Courts-Martial. Accordingly, thirteen evidentiary issues and rules of evidence are addressed, which includes uncharged misconduct and MRE 404(b) and authentication requirements under MRE 901.

In their haste to "deep six" the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, eager advocates of unrestricted homosexual enlistments ignore the many negatives this would lay on the military. For example, the Universal Code of Military Justice specifies sodomy, adultery and prostitution as three of several personal misconduct offenses punishable by courts-martial. The Code of Virginia and several other states have similar offenses.

Military prosecutors had pieced together a stunning case, that the Catholic Navy chaplain had engaged in a string of sexual dalliances and potentially jeopardized the health of untold numbers of service members - including two Naval Academy midshipmen. Despite the fact that the highest military courts ruled more than a decade ago that the public has a First Amendment right of access to both military courts-martial and "Article 32" preliminary hearings, military public affairs officers still routinely reject reporters' requests for court dockets.

This Note proposes that a combined litigation team of Department of Justice attorneys, Department of Defense attorneys, and Judge Advocates General can use the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act to prosecute alleged misconduct of civilian employees of private military firms that occurs abroad. The Supreme Court and lower courts have not always been amenable to the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilians, but a recent statutory change in the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes possible such an exercise. This statutory change responds to the same concern that spurred the enactment of the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act: misconduct ofcivilian employees of private military firms that occurs abroad. This Note analyz...
