§ 44-3205. Applicability of Uniform State Code of Military Justice - Jurisdiction.

A.  The Uniform State Code of Military Justice has applicability at all times and in all places, provided that the person subject to the code is in a duty status.  For those offenses set forth in Section 3368 of this title, the Uniform State Code of Military Justice has applicability at all times and in all places regardless of duty status.  Provided, however, these grants of military jurisdiction shall neither preclude nor limit civilian jurisdiction over an offense, which is limited only by the prohibition of double jeopardy.

B.  Courts-martial and courts of inquiry may be convened and held in units of the state military forces while those units are serving outside the state with the same jurisdiction and powers as to persons subject to the Uniform State Code of Military Justice 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.
