The Armed Forces (Civilians Subject to Service Discipline) (Amendment) Order 2024

Under the Armed Forces Act 2006 (“the Act”) certain persons may, for the purposes of the Act, be “civilians subject to service discipline”. Whether a person is a civilian subject to service discipline depends in some cases partly on whether they are a member or employee of a specified organisation. Some categories of persons are civilians subject to service discipline when they are in a designated area. The Armed Forces (Civilians Subject to Service Discipline) Order 2009 (“the 2009 Order”) outlines the designated areas and the specified organisations for the purposes of the Act.
