Can I Be Forced to Sign a Sworn Statement?

The comprehensive guide to the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP)

Can I Be Forced to Sign a Sworn StatementBefore I begin the following an opinion based on my experience. Do not make decisions based on my opinion. Do your own research, talk with your chain of command, IG and/or JAG. With that understood:

To the best of my knowledge you cannot be forced to sign a sworn statement. I believe there is also a requirement that you receive and sign a rights warning certificate before signing a sworn statement. Since you have the right to remain silent and you cannot be given an order or forced to sign a document.  I don’t not believe forcing  someone to sign a sworn statement is legal. I would highly encourage you to seek legal assistance before taking any action. You should also review AR 140-95

I hope you have found this information useful.
