What constitutes an assault charge?
When a military service member attempts to commit some type of bodily harm to another individual through violent or forceful means, it is considered assault under Article 128. Even if no actual physical contact occurs, the service member may still be found guilty of the charge.
Carrying out any of these acts is punishable under Article 128:
- Assault with a dangerous weapon
- Battery
- Simple assault
- Assault using force
- Aggravated assault
- Assaulting a minor
- Assault with intentions to cause bodily harm
- Sexual assault
