Marshall Law...
Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the normal administration of justice.
Usually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many states martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law does not contain that crime or punishment in its system.

Martial Law. The military takes over and this includes local law enforcement which must obey their orders.

Martial law is the true answer. Now for the realistic answer. Being in the military.

martial law. It may also apply during times of disaster, either natural or man-made.
Examples would be earthquakes, floods, mass disasters such as an oil refunery explosion, terrorist attack.
The constitution can be suspended for the duration of the emergency.

martial law, maybe... normal civil rights and protections are suspended and the military runs the show until civil order is reestablished
