Denmark Military Defense Lawyers – Court Martial Attorneys

Elite UCMJ & Court-Martial Defense for U.S. Service Members in Denmark

Denmark is a critical NATO ally hosting U.S. forces for rotational missions, Arctic training, intelligence cooperation, air operations, and joint exercises. U.S. service members operate at locations such as Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base in Greenland under Danish sovereignty), Danish Home Guard facilities, and multinational training sites. Service members assigned to Denmark or Greenland perform sensitive duties linked to missile warning, space operations, Arctic defense, and international security cooperation.

If you are facing a UCMJ investigation, administrative action, or court-martial while serving in Denmark (including Greenland), your case unfolds in an environment shaped by NATO partnerships, host-nation involvement, diplomatic expectations, and international security sensitivity. Even small allegations can rapidly become high-level legal emergencies requiring immediate intervention.

Gonzalez & Waddington, Attorneys at Law has more than 20 years of experience defending service members across Europe, the Arctic region, and overseas deployments. Our team understands how to navigate SOFA rules, multinational command pressures, and the unique legal framework of Denmark and Greenland.

Why UCMJ Allegations in Denmark Are Especially Serious

Because Denmark supports strategically vital missions — Arctic defense, missile tracking, space operations, and NATO interoperability — allegations involving U.S. personnel draw immediate scrutiny from Danish authorities, U.S. command, and allied partners.

• Danish police may investigate off-base incidents involving U.S. personnel
• Commands want to avoid diplomatic issues with Denmark’s government
• OSI, CID, or NCIS may assume guilt due to political sensitivity
• Security clearances are frequently suspended at the first sign of accusations
• Movement restrictions, duty reassignments, and early redeployment are common
• Small installations (such as Pituffik Space Base) magnify rumor and bias

In Denmark and Greenland, reputational and diplomatic concerns often overshadow fairness — making strong civilian defense representation essential.

Common UCMJ Charges Faced by Service Members in Denmark

Many UCMJ cases arise during Arctic deployments, joint NATO exercises, small-unit environments, or off-duty liberty in Danish cities or Greenlandic towns.

• Article 120 – Sexual assault, rape, and aggravated sexual contact
• Article 128b – Domestic violence and partner conflicts
• Article 112a – Drug use or possession (Danish laws differ sharply from U.S. policy)
• Article 92 – Orders violations, fraternization, or misconduct in small community settings
• Article 121 – Larceny, entitlements fraud, misuse of government property
• Article 107 – False statements during U.S. or Danish investigations
• Article 134 – Adultery, online misconduct, indecent conduct
• Host-Nation Incidents – Conflicts involving Danish civilians or local authorities

Administrative Actions in Denmark

Commands often use administrative actions when they lack enough evidence for a court-martial but still want to take quick action. These cases are particularly common in politically sensitive or intelligence-related roles.

• Administrative Separation Boards – Often initiated with limited evidence
• Officer BOIs – Common for those in joint, intel, or Arctic mission billets
• GOMORs & Reprimands – Used to document allegations rapidly
• Security Clearance Suspensions – Potentially career-ending in space, missile, and intel roles
• Command-Directed Investigations – AR 15-6, IG, EO, SHARP, or multinational inquiries
