What This Document Does
A military power describes the exact authorized acts for a service-related need. It can be general or limited; deployment alone does not establish another person’s authority.
Under 10 USC §1044b, qualifying military powers receive federal recognition and must be notarized under §1044a or other applicable state or federal law. Complete the actual authorized notarial act.
