In cases of suspected violations of rules, regulations or the law by armed forces personnel, investigations are invariably mandatory. Military investigations differ from well-researched civilian criminal investigations. Differing from civilian police detectives, most military investigators - as disciplinary supervisors and military police personnel - have a number of tasks to accomplish, which include leading in combat and ensuring military readiness. Military investigations can lead to substantive negative or positive consequences for military readiness, including mental health, unit cohesion and subjective legal certainty. This impact on unit cohesion and mental health is influenced by any prior history of distress or trauma; military investigations are often preceded by contravention of internal disciplinary acts, complaints and traumatic events. This study explores factors in the differing military and legal systems of Germany and the United Kingdom (UK) that might help military personnel to successfully conduct investigations while ensuring deployment readiness and maintaining human rights.
对于武装部队人员涉嫌违反规则、条例或法律的情况，调查总是必不可少的。军事调查不同于经过充分研究的民事刑事调查。与民事警察侦探不同，大多数军事调查人员——作为纪律监督人员和宪兵——有许多任务要完成，其中包括在战斗中指挥和确保军事准备状态。军事调查可能会对军事准备状态产生实质性的负面或正面影响，包括心理健康、部队凝聚力和主观法律确定性。这种对部队凝聚力和心理健康的影响受到任何先前的痛苦或创伤史的影响；军事调查之前往往存在违反内部纪律行为、投诉和创伤性事件。本研究探讨了德国和英国不同军事和法律体系中的因素，这些因素可能有助于军事人员在确保部署准备状态和维护人权的同时成功进行调查。
