1: FBI or local police depending on where the crime was committed (on base = FBI, off base = local, foreign could be either)

2: Yes, why wouldn't it?

3: During investigation, no. They are still innocent until proven guilty. After conviction it depends on what the military wants to do with them.

4: It could if obstruction of justice charges get filed.

5: The main problem is getting the offenders to trial in the first place.
