Which article covers who may perform LE duties to include arrest and apprehension?

• A. Article 7b
• B. Article 7a
• C. Article 6
• D. Article 8

Answer: (A)

Authority to perform law enforcement duties, including arrest and apprehension, is defined by a specific provision that designates who may carry out those duties within the military justice system. This provision sets out which personnel are authorized as law enforcement members, such as military police or other designated personnel, and the actions they may take in enforcing military law. That clarity is why this article is the best choice: it specifically establishes who can arrest and detain, ensuring that enforcement actions come from properly authorized individuals rather than from anyone in uniform.

Other articles govern different aspects of the system and do not specialize in who may perform law enforcement duties, so they don’t provide the same precise guidance on arrest and apprehension authority.
