military law enforcement

Military law enforcement involves specialized personnel, such as Military Police, responsible for maintaining discipline, security, and order within armed forces. They enforce military laws, regulations, and standards, ensuring the safety of personnel, facilities, and operations. Their duties include criminal investigations, traffic control, force protection, and enforcing rules on bases and during deployments. Unlike civilian police, their jurisdiction is primarily limited to military personnel, equipment, and installations, and they operate under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Their role is essential for discipline, readiness, and the effective functioning of military operations.
