​KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Mutiny
​Mutiny is a serious military offence under the Armed Forces Act 2006.
It occurs when members of the armed forces combine together to overthrow, resist, or challenge lawful military authority.
The offence may involve cooperation among service personnel, whether or not civilians also participate.
Where civilians are involved, their conduct is generally dealt with under ordinary criminal law rather than military law.
Mutiny is regarded as a grave threat to military discipline, order, and operational effectiveness.
