(1)This code has applicability at all times and in all places subject to the personal

jurisdiction as provided in KRS 35.015, or, if not in a duty status, that there is a

nexus between the act or omission constituting the offense and the efficient

functioning of the state military forces; however, this grant of military jurisdiction

shall neither preclude nor limit civilian jurisdiction over an offense, which is limited

only by the prohibition of double jeopardy.

(2)Courts-martial and courts of inquiry may be convened and held in units of the state

military forces while those units are serving outside the same jurisdiction and

powers as to persons subject to this code as if the proceeding were held inside the

state, and offenses committed outside the state may be tried and punished either

inside or outside the state.
