military regulations
Armed forces code
Military regulations are the official rules governing armed forces—covering conduct, discipline, uniforms, procedures, and chain of command.
They have the force of law within the military and violations can result in court-martial or other punishment.
The phrase often appears in discussions of what service members are permitted or forbidden to do: Military regulations prohibit political activity while in uniform.
