Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 41 - MILITARY FORCES OF THE STATE › Part II - Military Justice › Chapter 1 - General › Section II-102 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. This Regulation
				prescribes policies and procedures pertaining to the administration of military
				justice within the Louisiana National Guard and implements the Louisiana Code
				of Military Justice (LCMJ). Its format is designed to be of practical
				assistance to the commander in his effort to be effective and fair in matters
				relating to military law. Although even the most routine legal situation may
				seem confusing initially, the solution will generally prove to be relatively
				simple. This Regulation presents practical advice about many aspects of
				military justice and is designed to equip all concerned with the resources
				necessary to make swift, fair, and effective decisions.
AUTHORITY NOTE:
				  Promulgated in accordance with
				  R.S.
				  29:11(F).
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 41 - MILITARY FORCES OF THE STATE › Part II - Military Justice › Chapter 1 - General › Section II-103 - Applicability

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. General. This
				Regulation applies to all persons in the military forces and applies at all
				places. [LCMJ Article 5.]
B.
				Extraterritorial Application. Courts Martial and Courts of Inquiry may be
				convened and held in units of the Louisiana National Guard while those units
				are serving outside the State, with the same jurisdiction and power as to
				persons subject to the LCMJ as if the proceedings were held inside the State,
				and offenses committed outside the State may be tried and punished either
				inside or outside the State. However, there is no extraterritorial application
				of the LCMJ to a Louisiana National Guard unit serving overseas in a Title 10,
				U.S. Code status. Soldiers committing offenses in a Title 10 status must be
				adjudicated by active duty units through the application of the Uniform Code of
				Military Justice (UCMJ).
C. Duty
				Status Limitation. No person may be tried or punished for any offense under
				LCMJ Articles 77-134 unless the act(s) or omission(s) constituting the offense
				was committed while he was in a duty status or during a period of time in which
				he was under lawful order to be in a duty status. (For purposes of Article 112a
				only, membership is equated with duty status.) Nevertheless, the processing of
				charges and all proceedings, including trial, may be conducted without regard
				to duty status of the accused, and is not affected by the place where the
				military justice action takes place. [LCMJ Article 2.]
AUTHORITY NOTE:
				  Promulgated in accordance with
				  R.S.
