a club over someone’s head, even though no harm is actually done, is each an act of simple assault. When the threat is consummated and force is applied to the victim, the offense becomes assault and battery. Section (b) describes aggravated assault, of which there are two types. The first is assault with a dangerous weapon  and  other  means  of  force  likely  to  kill  or grievously harm the victim (like shoving a person over the  fantail).  The  second  type  takes  place  when  an assailant intentionally inflicts severe bodily harm, with or without a weapon. If, after you have knocked an individual down, you repeatedly kick him/her so as to break the person’s ribs, you have committed aggravated assault. Art. 129. Burglary Any person subject to this chapter who, with intent to commit an offense punishable under… articles 118 - 128, breaks and enters, in the nighttime, the dwelling house of another, is guilty of burglary and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. The house must be a dwelling place at the time of the breaking and entry, but the residents do not have to actually be in it. A simple act such as opening a closed door or window or some other similar fixture or cutting out the glass of a window or the netting of a screen constitutes breaking. Entry gained through a trick, false pretense, impersonation, intimidation, or collusion also constitutes  breaking.  For  the  intruder  to  succeed  in carrying out the intent for which the house was broken into is not an essential element. Art. 130. Housebreaking Any person subject to this chapter who unlawfully enters the building or structure of another  with  intent  to  commit  a  criminal offense therein is guilty of housebreaking and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. The initial entering must amount to trespassing; this article is not violated if the accused entered the building or structure lawfully, even though the person had the intent to commit an offense therein. This offense is broader than burglary in that the place entered need not be  a  dwelling  house;  also,  the  place  need  not  be occupied. A breaking is not essential. The entry may be either in the nighttime or in the daytime. The criminal intent is not limited to those offenses punishable under articles 118 through 128. Art. 131. Perjury Any person subject to this chapter who in a judicial proceeding or in a course of justice willfully and corruptly— (1) upon  a  lawful  oath  or  in  any  form allowed by law to be substituted for an oath, gives any false testimony material to the issue or matter of inquiry; or (2) i n  a ny  d e c l a r a t i o n ,  c e r t i fi c a t e , verification,  or  statement  under  penalty  or perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, subscribes any false statement material to the issue or matter of inquiry; is guilty of perjury and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Art. 132. Frauds against the United States Any person subject to this chapter— (1) who,  knowing  it  to  be  false  or fraudulent— (A) makes  any  claim  against  the United States or any officer thereof; or (B) presents to any person in the civil or military service thereof, for approval or payment, any claim against the United States or any officer thereof; (2)  who, for the purpose of obtaining the approval, allowance, or payment of any claim against  the  United  States  or  any  officer thereof— (A) makes or uses any writing or other paper  knowing  it  to  contain  any  false  or fraudulent statements; (B) makes any oath to any fact or to any writing or other paper knowing the oath to be false; or 2-34 Student Notes:
