This paper introduces Pre-Inference Governance for military and lethal autonomous systems, extending A7SEM and ASiSO to armed conflict and defense decision-making. It demonstrates how epistemic gating, action-specific authorization, and veto architectures preserve lawful command authority and prevent unauthorized use of force.
