I call BS on this. The Colonel would have read LTC Lakin his Article 32 (investigation) rights under the UCMJ, not Miranda.

I retired 14 years ago but if I remember correctly one is read their Article 31 Rights.... check out and google the UCMJ.
The Article 32 Investigation is for the presentation of evidence that a violation of the UCMJ has allegedly occurred.
If there are allegations of violations then the case will be referred for Trial by Court-martial.
