Biography
Nicole Mitchell was a U.S. Army military police officer who developed conscientious objections while deployed to Iraq. Although the Army approved her for noncombatant conscientious-objector status, she remained assigned to unarmed military-police duties. After going absent without leave and voluntarily returning, she was court-martialed and entered the Puget Sound naval brig on May 20, 2010 under a thirty-day sentence.
