Opinion of the Court
SULLIVAN, Judge:Appellant was tried by a general court-martial composed of a military judge sitting alone at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, on November 14, 1995. In accordance with his pleas, he was found guilty of disrespect towards a superior commissioned officer and disorderly conduct, in violation of Articles 89 and 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§889 and 934, respectively. He was sentenced to a bad-conduct discharge and confinement and forfeiture of $400 pay per month for 3 months. On January 9, 1996, the convening authority approved the sentence. On June 26, 1996, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the findings of guilty and the sentence without opinion.
This Court, on February 28, 1997, granted the following issue for review:
WHETHER THE MILITARY JUDGE ERRED TO THE SUBSTANTIAL PREJUDICE OF APPELLANT WHEN HE CONCLUDED THAT TRIAL COUNSEL’S PRE-ARTICLE 32 RELATION TO THE CHIEF OF MILITARY JUSTICE OF A REMARK APPELLANT *153HAD MADE CONCERNING THE CHIEF OF MILITARY JUSTICE TO A THIRD PARTY, ONE TO THREE MONTHS EARLIER, RESULTED IN RELEVANT VICTIM-IMPACT EVIDENCE CONSTITUTING PROPER AGGRAVATION EVIDENCE.
We hold that the military judge did not abuse his discretion in admitting testimony of the disrespected officer as to the subsequent concern which appellant’s disrespectful words caused her. See RCM 1001 (b) (4), Discussion, Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (1995 ed.) (evidence of psychological impact on victim admissible).
The stipulation of fact in this case sets the stage for the granted issue. It states inter alia:
8. After an initial investigation by the Rapid City Police Department, the OSI [Office of Special Investigations] began investigating the incidents at the park. At some point during the investigation, between on or about 29 May 1995 and about the third week of July 1995, the accused was walking in front of the 28th Civil Engineer Squadron headquarters building when he saw his Squadron Section Commander, Second Lieutenant Edward M. French. The accused then approached 2Lt French. Both the accused and 2Lt French were in uniform and on duty. After exchanging salutes, the accused started asking 2Lt French about the status of the investigation into his behavior at the park. 2Lt French replied that he wasn’t sure, to which the accused responded “Captain Power, that fucking bitch is out to get me,” or words to that effect. This disrespect occurred on Ellsworth AFB.
9. The words “Captain Power, that fucking bitch is out to get me,” or words to that effect, spoken by the accused were disrespectful and were directed toward Captain Carolyn M. Power. Captain Power is the Chief of Military Justice for the 28th Bomb Wing, Office of the Staff Judge Advocate. She previously served as the lead Trial Counsel in AB [Airman Basic] (then A1C [Airman First Class]) Wilson’s first court-martial back in January 1995. The accused pleaded not guilty to all charges and specifications in that court-martial and was found guilty of one specification of assault consummated by battery and one specification of unlawful entry. Captain Power cross-examined the accused in that case. The accused was therefore aware of the fact Captain Power was his superior commissioned officer at the time he called her a “fucking bitch,” or words of a similarly disrespectful nature and has never apologized for speaking of her in such unflattering terms.
At appellant’s court-martial, the Government called Captain Power as a witness during sentencing. The record states:
TC: Yes, your Honor. We call Captain Carolyn Power to the stand, please.
IMC: Your Honor, before that takes place, I want to object to this witness testifying in the sentencing phase of this court-martial and ask that the Government make an offer of proof as to the relevance of her testimony.
MJ: I take it, trial counsel, this is the Captain Power mentioned in the specification of disrespect?
TC: That’s correct, your Honor. The prosecution is allowed to introduce evidence of victim impact that is aggravation. Aggravation directly relates to or results from an offense. This witness will testify as to the effect wpon her that this accused’s statements had, and therefore we believe that it’s relevant victim impact evidence, sir.
IMC: We don’t believe that the charge of disrespect has an individual victim. We think the charge-that the victim in such an offense is the good order and discipline of the United States Air Force or the armed forces in general. The defense thinks that an officer should specifically be unvictim-ized personally by this and should not take it personally and should be concerned with the impact it has on the mission, which is why we have proscription in the UCMJ against showing disrespect. It’s a victimless crime, your Honor, and there can be no victim impact in such a crime. Further, there is nothing-this is not a charge of communicating a threat where there would *154be a victim. There was no threat communicated at all. Frankly, your Honor, the defense thinks that this is absurd that a captain in the United States Air Force and a JAG would be called to the stand to testify about the impact that such a statement had on her personally on a charge of disrespect toward an officer. We just believe its irrelevant.
MJ: Well, counsel, I think this offense in essence has two victims. I think it has potential impact on the overall welfare, morale, and discipline of the service, but the offense requires that it must be disrespect to a particular superior commissioned officer, and even though it does not appear Captain Power was personally present at the time of the disrespect, I assume it has been reported to her. And I don’t believe there is any particular special rule applicable ti judge advocates. So, although I am prepared to weigh and evaluate this evidence carefully, I think it’s appropriate that this witness be called if the prosecution feels there is relevant victim impact. So the objection is overruled. You can call your witness, Captain Kurlan-der.
(Emphasis added.)
Captain Power then took the witness stand and testified as follows:
Q: All right. You are aware that the comment was along the lines of: “Captain Power, that fucking bitch is out to get me?”
A: Yes.
Q: How did you feel when you found out that the accused had made that comment? A: I was a little concerned, a little surprised that the comment had been made initially, and it caused a little bit of concern.
Q: Would you please explain what you mean by a little bit of concern?
A: The accused, in making that statement and specifically in naming me, was making it personal and was obviously placing the focus of blame for the situation he was in and obviously harboring resentment toward me personally, probably for the first court-martial that I was involved in where I cross-examined him and for the position he was in now. And in those kinds of situations I think you ignore that kind of a comment at your own peni, not knowing what the accused or his friends would do. I wasn’t really quite sure how much blame he was placing on me and how personal he was making it toward me.
Q: Well, as a result of learning that the accused said this about you, did you do anything?
A: I was a little more careful, especially on base. I contacted Agent McCarter over at OSI to kind of get a feel from him as to the nature of this kind of conduct in other courts, if he was aware of anything, threats against other attorneys and so forth, and what the common practice or procedure was in regard to those things.
Q: All right, and knowing that the accused has made this comment about you, did it cause you any particular concern at home?
A: Yes. My husband is frequently TDY [away on temporary duty] and with him gone frequently, it caused me a little bit of concern, yes.
Q: He’s on active duty in the United States Air Force?
A: Yes, sir. He’s a B-l pilot over at the 37th Squadron.
Q: All right, and do you have any concerns today due to the accused’s comment about you to Lieutenant French?
A: To a certain extent, yes, because now that he’s been convicted of it, you know, that would further his blaming me for the situation he’s in.
(Emphasis added.)
ROM 1001(b)(4) states:
“(4) Evidence in aggravation. The trial counsel may present evidence as to any aggravating circumstances directly relating to or resulting from, the offenses of which the accused has been found guilty. Except in capital cases a written or oral deposition taken in accordance with ROM 702 is admissible in aggravation.”
*155Discussion
Evidence in aggravation may include evidence of financial, social, psychological, and medical impact on or cost to any person or entity who was the victim of an offense committed by the accused and evidence of significant adverse impact on the mission, discipline, or efficiency of the command directly and immediately resulting from the accused’s offense.
See also RCM 1004 concerning aggravating circumstances in capital cases.
(Emphasis added.)
The Manual drafters similarly explained the scope of this provision as follows:
Subsection (4) makes clear that evidence in aggravation may be introduced whether the accused pleaded guilty or not guilty, and whether or not it would be admissible on the merits. This is consistent with the interpretation of paragraph 75b(3) (later amended to be paragraph 75b(4) of MCM, 1969 (Rev.) by Exec. Order No. 12315 (July 29,1981)) in United States v. Vickers, 13 MJ 403 (CMA 1982). See also U.S. Dep’t of Justice, Attorney General’s Task Force on Violent Crime, Final Report Recommendation 14 (1981); Fed.R.Crim. P. 32(c)(2)(B) and (C). This subsection does not authorize introduction in general of evidence of bad character or uncharged misconduct. The evidence must be of circumstances directly relating to or resulting from an offense of which the accused has been found guilty. See United States v. Rose, 6 MJ 754 (NCMR 1978), pet. denied, 7 MJ 56 (CMA 1979); United States v. Taliaferro, 2 MJ 397 (ACMR 1975); United States v. Peace, 49 CMR 172 (ACMR 1974).
Drafters’ Analysis, Manual, supra at A21-67 (emphasis added).
Appellant contends that it was error for the military judge to admit testimony from Captain Power concerning the impact appel-
lant’s disrespectful language had on her. He notes that he did not personally make this statement to Captain Power and that it was later communicated to her by others without his knowledge or consent. Any fear or uneasiness on her part, he argues, was either accidental, unreasonable, or too remote to qualify as an aggravating circumstance “directly relat[ed]” to his disrespect offense. Final Brief at 7-8. He argues that her testimony was “impermissibly indirect” and thus not admissible under RCM 1001(b)(4). Final Brief at 7. We disagree.
It is well established that a military judge has broad discretion to determine whether evidence proffered by the prosecution as aggravation evidence will be admitted under RCM 1001(b)(4). See United States v. Rust, 41 MJ 472, 478 (1995). Here, there is no contention that the military judge applied the wrong standard in exercising his discretion to admit this evidence as aggravation under the above Manual rule. See generally United States v. Gordon, 31 MJ 30, 36 (CMA 1990). Whether a circumstance is “directly relat[ed] to or results from the offenses” calls for considered judgment by the military judge, and we will not overturn that judgment lightly. See United States v. Jones, 44 MJ 103,104-05 (1996).
The record before us shows that Captain Power, the Chief of Military Justice at appellant’s base, was the object of appellant’s disrespect and that her subsequent state of anxiety was caused by this conduct. See para. 13c(4), Part IV, Manual, supra (disrespect need not be in presence of superior); cf. United States v. Rust, supra (murder-suicide of dereliction of duty victim, her son, and her husband were independent results of disturbed mind). The record also shows other circumstances including Captain Power’s prosecution of appellant at a prior court-martial, her isolated home-life situation, and appellant’s history of physical confrontation,1 *156which reasonably justified her fear or anxiety over appellant’s words. See United States v. Irwin, 42 MJ 479, 483 (1995). Finally, the record of trial establishes a temporal identity between Captain Power’s knowledge of appellant’s offense, his court-martial for that offense, and Captain Power’s continuing state of concern. In these circumstances, we conclude that the military judge did not abuse his discretion in admitting Captain Power’s testimony as a witness in aggravation.2 See United States v. Jones, supra.
The decision of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed.
Judges CRAWFORD and GIERKE concur.
. The stipulation of fact admitted in this case states:
