The Uniform Code of Military Justice article applicable to fraudulent activity is which number?

• A. 131
• B. 132
• C. 133
• D. 134

Answer: (B)

Fraudulent activity is addressed under the UCMJ by the article that directly targets fraud and related deceitful acts. This article explicitly covers offenses such as false pretenses, forged documents, false claims, and other acts meant to deceive for personal or official gain. That direct focus on fraud makes it the best match for any conduct involving deceit or fraudulent schemes, as opposed to other articles that deal with different kinds of misconduct. The General Article covers offenses not specifically enumerated, and other articles target separate categories like conduct unbecoming or specific crimes, so they don’t fit the issue of fraudulent activity as precisely.
