Like the arrest of any civilian, it is the same with the meaning of the military arrest that related with the working soldier. But of course there are extra law and regulation that any military member must follow, other wise if military members break the laws it will end with military arrest. As we all know military law are very rigorous, the records of arrest are sustained different and not existed in public. Here are some steps to do.

First, gather the personnel data of the soldier or sailor. This is like name, date of birth, number of Social Security and others. Second, it is necessary to communicate with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps or JAG, to have the information about which branch is this soldier or sailor is working or serving. Third, build communication with the center where the soldier or sailor is now placed. This is an alternative from the JAG procedure, because it will faster to be done. Forth, there is a Standard Form 180 or SF180 that must be filled. This is below the Freedom of Information Act. Fifth, propose a form of the Request Pertaining to Military Records for veteran and soldier.

For civilians it is not very difficult if a couple want to do a separation in their marriage. They just have to go to the civil court, fulfilled the papers and in few months they are stated not husband and wife any longer.

It is almost the same in the military law for a marital separation. Like any civilians couple, these military couple will first to courts in their authority and then request for the separation, but must fulfilled several rules that appropriate to those military individual that worked in the Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines. This is related in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act (SCRA) in the presence to attend the court. The court will not continue the procedure of separation if one of the couple who is in duty in military service cannot attend the court, unless this military member return from the military service and able to attend the court.
