Military unit
The Military Prosecution Service or Judge Advocate General's Corps (Danish : Forsvarets Auditørkorps , short FAUK ) is a Danish independent military prosecutor and the legal branch of the Danish military . It is a Level.I command and is under the Ministry of Defence . The Judge Advocate General (Danish : Generalauditør ) heads the Defence Judge Advocate Corps. It is located at Kastellet in Copenhagen .
The Judge Advocate General and Judge Advocates are members of the military system, but outside the military rank system. The Chief of Defence , otherwise the commander of all Danish military personnel, does not have authority over Judge advocates prosecutors.
In a military criminal case the Defence Judge Advocate Corps conducts investigation and decides whether or not a charge should be brought up.
