We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the military term for no contact?

A military protective order (MPO) and a no-contact order (NCO) are legal orders that serve different purposes from the highest level of the Board for Correction of Military Records.

Who fills out DD Form 2293?

The time frame of an MPO is indefinite, meaning there may not be a specific end date written on it. This means that it will last until the commanding officer terminates the order. The commanding officer may review the MPO at any time to change or end (terminate) it.

Can the military issue a no contact order?

If ensuring safety is not the purpose of the order, a commander may issue a no-contact order, a lawful order prohibiting contact or communication with specified persons under circumstances that do not justify the issuance of an MPO.

Can a military member refuse an order?

Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it a crime to disobey a lawful military order or regulation. You can be considered to be in violation of Article 92 if you intentionally violate or fail to follow an order.

What is a DD form 2873?

What is a military protection order?

A general criminal background check, like those done by employers, should not show a restraining order, as that is a civil matter. However, more in-depth criminal background checks, like those done for the military or security clearance, will show a restraining order issued against you.
