In the civilian world, one must be advised of his or her rights only during a custodial interrogation. However, the rights of a military member are somewhat broader. Article 31 of the UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. 831, requires a rights warning before any military suspect is interrogated - regardless of whether the interrogation is custodial in nature. If the questioner did suspect the member being questioned, and did not give him a rights warning, any admissions would likely not be admissible against him.
