I don’t believe so...in order to violate the order he has to actually to have not followed the order. Now if he was supposed to be somewhere else before that order was followed then they could get him for AWOL or not following orders (but it would be a different order and not this one as the time hasn’t come for him to go yet).
But under the UCMJ, is declaring in advance “no, I’m not going to obey this order” the same as actually disobeying a “lawful” order? I’ve never served, I honestly don’t know.
I just can’t believe that the Army is going to let the Major do this and not suffer some sort of repercussion or punishment.
