The Ada mandate exists both in the form of public law and
implementing regulations for each of the services. Any civilian civil
servant may be charged with violation of the respective public law, and
related charges dealing with failure to adhere to applicable
organizational policies and procedures. Any military manager may be
brought to court-martial for failure to obey a standing order, among
other charges.
Many circumstances conspire to make successful prosecution in such
cases highly problematic. Nonetheless, a clear mechanism exists for
doing so, and virtually anyone in a position to have knowledge of such
violations may seek to initiate such action.
