You might as well ask how military personnel are trained to do/understand anything. HERE is how they get a clue from the first moment a DI screams 'listen up!'

How is military law, particularly not executing illegal orders, communicated to enlisted personnel?

Military law regarding the refusal to execute illegal orders is communicated to enlisted personnel through a combination of formal training, written regulations, and ongoing instruction throughout their service.

### Basic Training and Initial Instruction
Enlisted personnel first learn about military law during basic training, where instructors emphasize the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and the obligation to follow lawful orders while refusing illegal ones. Soldiers are taught that obeying an illegal order can result in personal liability, and that they have both the right and the duty to refuse such orders.

### Written Regulations and Manuals
The UCMJ and service-specific manuals, such as the Army’s Field Manual 27-10, explicitly outline the legal responsibilities of military members. These documents are referenced in training and available for review, ensuring personnel have access to the official rules governing their conduct.

### Ongoing Education and Refresher Courses
Military law is reinforced through periodic refresher courses, leadership training, and command-directed education. Commanders and legal advisors frequently review the principles of lawful orders and the consequences of illegal actions, ensuring that enlisted personnel remain aware of their rights and duties.

### Chain of Command and Legal Advisors
Enlisted members are encouraged to seek guidance from their chain of command or military legal advisors if they are uncertain about the legality of an order. This system supports informed decision-making and protects both the individual and the integrity of the military justice system.

In summary, military law on refusing illegal orders is communicated through structured training, accessible written materials, and continuous reinforcement by leadership and legal resources.

That is the discussion in the military in 2025, that is what Ameria is supposed to do, bring about discussions that might not have been discussed in the past.

Questionable orders are always just that questionable, you either ask when in doubt, or deal with the aftermath, it truly is that simple. Being in the military does not excuse anyone from doing something that is wrong.

This is 2025, and it is about time the human race quits excusing behavior that almost anyone knows is morally wrong. Life is not supposed to be easy, so this new question about questioning orders should be a topic of discussion in the military, right down to that enlisted personnel who is barely out of high school. Being young and dumb is one thing, but slaughter is still slaughter. .

Oh, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Admiral Bradley knows what he's been doing violates the UCMJ and the laws of war.
