Art. 108. Military Property of the United States—Loss, Damage, Destruction, or Wrongful Disposition Any person subject to this chapter who, without proper authority— (1) sells or otherwise disposes of; (2) willfully or through neglect damages, destroys, or loses; or (3) willfully or through neglect suffers to be lost, damaged, sold, or wrongfully disposed of; any military property of the United States, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Whether the property in question was issued to the accused, whether it was issued to someone other than the accused, or whether it was issued at all is immaterial. Willful   means   intentional.   Neglect   means inattention to duty or failure to take action that, under the  circumstances,  should  have  been  taken  to  prevent the  loss,  destruction,  or  damage  of  any  military property. Art. 109. Property Other Than Military Property of United States—Waste, Spoilage, or Destruction Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who willfully  or  recklessly  wastes,  spoils,  or otherwise willfully and wrongfully destroys or damages  any  property  other  than  military property of the United States shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Wastes  and  spoils  refer  to  wrongful  acts  of voluntary destruction, such as burning down buildings, burning  piers,  tearing  down  fences,  or  cutting  down trees.  To  be  destroyed,  property  need  be  only sufficiently damaged to be useless for the purpose for which it was intended. Damage consists of any physical injury to the property. The property must be other than military property of the United States and must belong to one other than the accused. Art. 110. Improper Hazarding of Vessel (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who willfully and wrongfully hazards or suffers to be hazarded any vessel of the armed forces shall suffer   death   or   such   punishment   as   a court-martial may direct. (b)  Any person subject to this chapter who negligently  hazards  or  suffers  to  be  hazarded any vessel of the armed forces shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. The  word  suffers  means  to  allow  or  permit.  A person suffers a ship to be hazarded who, although not in  direct  control  of  the  vessel,  knows  a  danger  to  be imminent but takes no steps to prevent it. For example, a plotting officer of a ship under way inadvertently fails to report observation of a radar target on a collision course with, and dangerously close to, the ship. The officer has negligently suffered the ship to be hazarded. Art. 111.

Operating  a  vehicle  includes  not  only  driving  or guiding it while in motion, it also includes starting it or manipulating its controls to cause the vehicle to move. The   term   vehicle   applies   to   all   types   of   land transportation,  whether  motor-driven  or  passenger carrying. Drunken or reckless operation of water or air transportation  may  be  charged  as  a  violation  of article  134.  For  the  meaning  of  drunk(en),  see  the remarks following article 112.
