Civilian protection orders must be enforced on base. Many abused individuals have both a military protection order and a civilian protection order. If you are thinking about getting a military protection order, there are a few things you should consider.

Anything you say to military personnel regarding violence or abuse to yourself or your children must be reported to command staff. If you need to tell someone something confidential, ask the person if your conversation is protected by confidentiality requirements
