   Does anyone know how military jurisdiction was determined in frontier   
   communities with a fort? Suppose a soldier committed a crime in a local   
   watering hole off the base. Would that be handled by the town marshal or the   
   provost marshal? Who would decide? Would the seriousness of the crime matter?   
   Something along these lines happened in my neck of the woods a few months   
   ago, and they're court-maritaling the guy, but I wondered what would happen   
   in the frontier towns. I've been pecking through my cavalry books but haven't   
   found a clear answer.
