Who establishes an MPO and what is its duration?

A Military Protective Order is issued by the unit commander in charge—typically the Battery Commander—and lasts until the issuing authority revokes it. Its purpose is to restrict contact and protect the safety of the involved parties during an investigation or proceeding. The order is applied to the person alleged to have caused harm (the one it restrains) and, by its nature, is meant to safeguard the victim as well. This makes the description that the Battery Commander places the MPO, it lasts until revoked, and it can involve both the perpetrator and the victim the best fit.
