I don’t remember being taught about the Posse Comitatus Act in school or in college, CPT Lawrence Cable. In fact, I was already a commissioned officer before the law was explained to me, and even then, it wasn’t in a formal setting.

While not an officer, I also do not remember it being taught in school. I must have read about it many years ago CPT Lawrence Cable
