The Constitution’s double jeopardy clause is not applicable because two different sovereigns are involved, i.e. the federal government and state government.

To the extent possible, efforts are made under such agreements to maximize the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over military members or other persons subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
