How does the military reconcile the violation of federal law for trying

juvenile service members? In regards to 10 USC § 802 stating that the military has court-martial jurisdiction but 18 USC § 5031/5032 states that no one below the age of 18(except in specific, enumerated cases) may be tried in a criminal prosecution. Specifically, the military incorporating federal criminal statutes into courts-martial trying service members under the third clause in Article 134, UCMJ.

Any help resolving this or pertinent case law would be appreciated.
