Art. 116. Riot or Breach of Peace Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who causes or participates in any riot or breach of the peace shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. The term riot is used when a disturbance is caused by  a  group  of  three  or  more  persons  and  is  engaged against anyone who may oppose them. Breach of the peace is an unlawful disturbance by violent or turbulent means that disturbs the peace of the community.  Engaging  in  a  fight  and  using  abusive words in public are examples of breach of the peace. As used  in  this  article,  community  includes  any  military installation or ship, as well as a civilian community. Art. 117. Provoking Speeches or Gestures Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who uses  provoking  or  reproachful  words  or gestures  towards  any  other  person  subject  to this chapter shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Art. 118. Murder Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who, without justification or excuse, unlawfully kills a human being, when he— (1)   has a premeditated design to kill; (2)   intends  to  kill  or  inflict  great  bodily harm; (3)   is engaged in an act that is inherently dangerous  to  another  and  evinces  a  wanton disregard of human life; or (4)   is  engaged  in  the  perpetration  or attempted  perpetration  of  burglary,  sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson; is  guilty  of  murder,  and  shall  suffer  such punishment  as  a  court-martial  may  direct, except that if found guilty under clause (1) or (4), he shall suffer death or imprisonment for life as a court-martial may direct. Art. 119. Manslaughter (a) Any person subject to this chapter who, with an intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm, unlawfully  kills  a  human  being  in  the  heat  of sudden passion caused by adequate provocation is guilty of voluntary manslaughter and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. (b)   Any person subject to this chapter who, without an intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm, unlawfully kills a human being— (1)   by culpable negligence; or (2)  while perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate an offense, other than those named in  clause  (4)  of…  article  118,  directly affecting the person; is guilty of involuntary manslaughter and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Manslaughter  is  the  unlawful  killing  of  another. There are two basic types of manslaughter: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary  manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another when there is intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm,  but  the  act  is  committed  in  the  heat  of  sudden passion caused by adequate provocation. Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another committed without intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm. Art. 120. Rape and Carnal Knowledge (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who commits an act of sexual intercourse, by force and without consent, is guilty of rape and shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct. (b)   Any person subject to this chapter who, under  circumstances  not  amounting  to  rape, commits  an  act  of  sexual  intercourse  with  a female not his wife who has not attained the age of sixteen years, is guilty of carnal knowledge and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. (c) Penetration,   however   slight,   is sufficient to complete either of these offenses. 2-30 Student Notes:
