Ok, here's what the law says.

Rape is a criminal act. It's a criminal act for military personnel. It's a criminal act to order it done. It's a criminal act to do it under the orders of a superior officer. "Under pressure" from a superior officer is not an acceptable defense under the UCMJ, and probably not an acceptable defense under other military jurisdictions either.

What might be an affirmative defense (meaning the defendant will would have to prove it) is if the defendant was coerced by threat of imminent harm. Again, this is an affirmative defense where the defendant assumes the burden of proof.
