Whether I acquitted or not would depend on the circumstances and the conflict. However, if you accept a concentration camp as being somewhere where civilans are detained in times of conflict then there may not be a war crime being committed. Britain ran a number of concentration camps for various classes of civilians during the second world war. They were not "death camps" and to the best of my knwledge no-one was accused of war crimes.

The whole of Queen's Regulations are long overdue a major overhaul, but it is an area that I am woefully oout of date with and no longer have a copy of QRs or the Manual of Air Force Law to refer to. Consequently, I am surprised that the penalty for disobeying a lawful order is not already life imprisonment.

I think it will have very little impact on those who are likely to volunteer to serve
