Which combination of sources specifically authorizes MA's LE duties?

• A. Article 7b and Title 10 USC
• B. Article 7b and Title 11 USC
• C. Article 7a and Title 10 USC
• D. Article 7c and Title 10 USC

Answer: (A)

MA’s law enforcement duties are grounded in a specific provision that authorizes designated military personnel to perform law enforcement and investigative tasks, together with the broader statutory framework that gives the armed forces their jurisdiction. The provision that directly authorizes these duties is Article 7b, and Title 10 of the U.S. Code provides the overall authority and framework for military law enforcement across the armed services. Put together, this pair creates the statutory basis for MA LE duties.

Choosing the other articles or the wrong title misses that exact authorization. The other article options relate to different functions within military law and cannot by themselves confer LE powers, and Title 11 is bankruptcy law, not military law enforcement.
