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.

I have had my Article 32 rights read to me, so I am familiar. My doubt came from Miranda rights being read to the LTC while on active duty. He had not committed a crime in the civilian sector, so Miranda is inappropriate. Whether they would be 31 or 32 is irrelevant, I just grabbed the first one that came to mind.
