Assault as physical connection. Some states define assault as the intentional use of force or violence against another, such as punching a person or striking the victim with an object. (A few states even lump assault and battery into one crime, which is defined as a physical attack.)
Assault Position - the assault position is tentatively established during the squad leader's planning and reconnaissance. It is the position between the LOD and the objective from which the assault on the enemy position is launched.
Although you may contact the DOD Hotline at any time, a faster way to resolve your complaint is usually to first contact your local or command-level Inspector General's Office. Call the Inspector General Hotline at 800-424-9098.

Q: Can a Person Sue the Military? A: Almost anyone is eligible to sue the military for harm or injury caused by them. This includes dependents, retirees, and all other citizens of the United States. The exception to this would be individuals who are/were serving in the military at the time of injury.
The primary legal barrier to suing the military in the United States is the doctrine of sovereign immunity. This principle, rooted in common law, holds that the government cannot be sued without its consent.
