Blackwater Rising: The Legal Issues Raised By The Unprecedented Privatization Of U.S. Military Functions, Robert D. Peltz Nov 2021

Blackwater Rising: The Legal Issues Raised By The Unprecedented Privatization Of U.S. Military Functions, Robert D. Peltz

University of Miami Law Review

The Army has used civilian contractors to provide supplies and services to its forces in the field since the Revolutionary War. These early contractors fed the cavalry’s horses and transported supplies. Over the years, the role of the civilian contractor has dramatically evolved. Following the Vietnam War and the end of the draft, there has been an ever-increasing privatization of functions previously performed by the military.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which began in response to the September 11 attacks and have only recently started to come to a formal end, have significantly accelerated this process. As a result, …

Will War's Nature Change In The Seventh Military Revolution?, F. G. Hoffman Nov 2017

Will War's Nature Change In The Seventh Military Revolution?, F. G. Hoffman

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

This article examines the potential implications of the combinations of robotics, artificial intelligence, and deep learning systems on the character and nature of war. The author employs Carl von Clausewitz’s trinity concept to discuss how autonomous weapons will impact the essential elements of war. The essay argues war’s essence, as politically directed violence fraught with friction, will remain its most enduring aspect, even if more intelligent machines are involved at every level.

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodies? The Current State Of Sexual Assault Reform Within The U.S. Military And The Need For The Use Of A Formal Decisionmaking Process In Further Reform, Danielle Rogowski Apr 2015

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodies? The Current State Of Sexual Assault Reform Within The U.S. Military And The Need For The Use Of A Formal Decisionmaking Process In Further Reform, Danielle Rogowski

Seattle University Law Review

Who protects those who protect the nation? In the United States, these responsibilities are levied upon the U.S. Congress, which has Constitutional authority to “make rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces.” As such, the U.S. military currently has a robust and well-developed judicial system governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Yet critics have attacked this system during the past two decades by alleging that it fails to adequately prevent and prosecute sexual assault within the ranks. Following scandals at the 1991 Tailhook Convention, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, and the United States Air …


Sexual Assault And Rape In The Military: The Invisible Victims Of International Gender Crimes At The Front Lines, Stella Cernak Jan 2015

Sexual Assault And Rape In The Military: The Invisible Victims Of International Gender Crimes At The Front Lines, Stella Cernak

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

In the past several years in particular, intra-military sexual assault and rape in the U.S. armed forces have been the focus of frequent media attention and intense congressional debate. Despite reforms, the rate of intra-military sexual crimes continues to remain high, as does soldiers’ wariness to report instances of sexual violence to military commanders. These problems and others have invigorated the position taken by some that outside judicial review of intra- military sexual crimes is necessary to provide justice to victims and lower the rate of intra-military sexual assault and rape. This Note argues that one of the primary contributors …

Constitutional Law - Self-Incrimination - Relation To Loyalty Discharge From Government Service, George E. Ewing Jan 1955

Constitutional Law - Self-Incrimination - Relation To Loyalty Discharge From Government Service, George E. Ewing

Michigan Law Review

A doctor, drafted into the Army as a private by authority of the Doctors Draft Law, exercised his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination in refusing to complete a loyalty certificate required for a military commission. The Army refused to grant the commission. In a prior habeas corpus proceeding, he had been ordered discharged unless granted the commission. Since the Army intended to grant the discharge under conditions other than honorable, the doctor sought an injunction to compel prompt honorable discharge. Held, injunction granted. Exercise of the constitutional privilege in refusing to complete a loyalty certificate could not be considered a …

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, popular star of "western" motion pictures, was under contract to defendant, extended by successive options through March 6, 1944, to act in eight pictures per year, at a graduated salary which would become $14,000 per picture during the last year of the contract. In May, 1942, a further contract was made, by which defendant secured an option on plaintiff's services for another year, which option it duly exercised. This later contract provided that if plaintiff went into military service, the parties would "agree upon their mutual rights and obligations" under the two contracts in view of that fact. This …


Master-Servant-Subrogation-Right Of The United States To Recover For Injuries To A Soldier Caused By The Negligent Act Of Another, John R. Dykema Nov 1946

Master-Servant-Subrogation-Right Of The United States To Recover For Injuries To A Soldier Caused By The Negligent Act Of Another, John R. Dykema

Michigan Law Review

On February 7, 1944, an enlisted soldier in the Army of the United States was injured in a traffic accident in Los Angeles, California, through the negligence of an agent of appellant; he was incapacitated for duty for a period of twenty-nine days. The United States paid his hospital expenses, and also his salary during this period, amounting to a total of $192.56. In March, 1944, the soldier, in return for three hundred dollars, executed a release to appellant "from any and all claims and demands" on account of the accident. The United States sued in the Federal District Court …
