Civilian arrests are unlike military arrests in that you do not have to say anything. If civilian law enforcement questions you at or on the base, you have a right to a civilian attorney and the right to keep silent. I strongly suggest that you do both. 

If you are arrested and it is not dealt with quickly and professionally it may:
1) put you on legal hold so you do not go to your next duty station, deployment or advance to your next school.
2) result in an administrative discharge of you from the United States Military
3) if the bond was not obtained quickly it could result in your being AWOL. 

You must secure all potential names and contact numbers of any military witnesses as soon as possible as they may leave the area. 

You should be able to talk to your lawyer as to the time elements of your defense and have the option of moving the case as quickly as possible. The issue of moving the case should be discussed strategically between you and your attorney at the earliest possible moment.

Domestic violence (military) is distinguished from other kinds of crimes because of the special relationship between the persons. Since the filing and litigating of domestic abuse actions often has unintended results beyond obtaining a domestic abuse order, knowledge of the complexities of military proceedings that may result helps us to meet the particular needs of our clients in the military or spouses of military personnel.
