No, and there is no such thing in the Constitution.

No. There is no such requirement. It evolved out of the enumerated power given to the Congress in Article One, Section Eight to write the regulations for the conduct of the land and naval forces. Just as the Disability Evaluation System and the Uniformed Code of Military Justice did.

No. The constitution rarely gets that specific.
The only military provisions I know about are as follows:
The president is the commander in chief, only congress can declare war, and the army can't force people to house soldiers in their homes.

No. The constitution in no way addresses this.
Anything that addresses this is military policy. It's not constitutional.

not according to the consitution, no. that said, every service member has a $400,000 life insurance policy that is paid to a person named by the service member in the event of his death as a result of his military service.
