Here's the military charge of forgery, from the UCMJ:

923. ART. 123. FORGERY Any person subject to this chapter who, with intent to defraud- -

(1) falsely makes or alters any signature, to, or any part of, any writing which would, if genuine, apparently impose a legal liability on another or change his legal right or liability to his prejudice; or

(2) utters, offers, issues, or transfers such a writing, known by him to be so made or altered;

is guilty of forgery and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

I believe the UCMJ still applies to a retired officer, but I'm not sure if this charge would fit the circumstances of these documents.
