FOREWORD

The seventeenth consecutive year of continuous operation of The Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville was completed in 1968. This seventh Annual Report for fiscal year 1968, my first as Commandant of The Judge Advocate General's School, has a three-fold purpose: first, to summarize the operation of the School during the past fiscal year; second, to preserve in printed form a record of the School and its personnel; and, third, to describe the various courses of instruction offered at the School.

As service to the Judge Advocate General's Corps is the School's mission, it is hoped that the Report will acquaint members of the Corps with the services which the School offers. Furthermore, as improvement is often stimulated by suggestions, we hope military lawyers in the field will suggest ways in which the School can be of greater service to the Corps.

During my initial year as Commandant, increased emphasis has been placed on liaison between the School and its alumni and reserve judge advocates. Also, due to the ever-increasing importance of international law in the world today, we are intensifying our effort to obtain an increasing number of foreign students in both our Advanced and Basic Courses and our specialized short courses. Through increased relationship with our foreign allies, the School hopes to he a positive factor in improvmg human relations around the world.

HISTORY OF THE JUDCE ADVOCATE CENERAL'S SCHOOL

Although judge advocates have served the United States Army since 1775, no effort was made to provide them with formal training in military law until the opening days of the "World War II. In preceding years, newly appointed judge advocates were trained empirically, but the Army's swift expansion soon emphasized the need [or instructing attorneys entering the Corps in the manifold aspects of their new specialty.

In February 1942, as the uniformed lawyer's burden increased in complexity, specialized and refresher training courses for active duty personnel were commenced at the National University Law School, Washington, D.e. In August 1942, operations were transferred to The Judge Advocate General's School, physically located at the University of Michigan Law School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and commanded by Colonel Edward H. Young, JAGe. In the following months, hundreds of officers were trained at Ann Arbor. By June 1944 over two-thirds of the active duty strength of the Judge Advocate General's Corps were graduates of the School. The end of the war, however, substantially reduced the need for trained military lawyers, and in 1946 the School, which had been initiated only on a temporary basis, was discontinued.

Nevertheless, plans were soon being devised in the Office of The Judge Advocate General to implement the recommendation of a committee, appointed in 1946 to study the administration of military justice, that provision be made for the training of Army lawyers in military law. The passage of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the coming of the Korean conflict accentuated the need for judge advocate training facilities. As a consequence, another temporary training facility was established at Fort Myer, Virg'l.ia, again under the guidance of Colonel Young. Approximately 200 0 licers attended 'several five-week courses in basic military law taught by five officer-instructors,

By this time, the decision had been made to establish a permanent branch service school. Although the advisability of locating the School

http:Virg'l.ia

within 200 miles of Washington was r;:cognized, sites as far away as Fort Crockett, Texas, and Fort Rodman, Massachusetts, were considered. In the spring of 1951 a survey was made of the facilities offered by the University of Virginia, and on 2 August 1951 the present Judge Advocate General's School was established. At present, The Judge Advocate General's School is a class II activity of the Office of The Judge Advocate General.

Colonel Charles L. Decker was appointed as first Commandant. He served until 15 June 1955 when he was succeeded by Colonel Nathaniel B. Rieger. Colonel Rieger was in turn succeeded by Colonel John G. O'Brien who served from I March 1957 to 13 May 1961. Colonel John F. T. Murray was Commandant from I July 1961 to 31 December 1964. Colonel John \1\1. Burtchaell was Commandant from I January 1965 until his retirement on 30 June 1966. Colonel Lewis F. Shull served as Commandant from 25 July 1966 to 3 September 1967. Colonel Kenneth C. Crawford, the present Commandant, began his tour as Commandant on 3 September 1967.

ORGANIZATION OF THE JUDGE ADVOCATE

GENERAL'S SCOOOL

The Judge Advocate General's School, U. S. Army, is located on the grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Its function is to orient the Army lawyer to the fundamentals of military law, to provide current training material, and to inform him of the latest developments in the law. Formal instruction and legal publications, including texts, periodicals, and extension courses, are used to fulfill this purpose.

The Judge Advocate General's School operates on a year-round basis. Over 11,096 students have graduated from courses offered at the School in its 17 years of operation at Charlottesville. During Fiscal Year 1968, 996 students were graduated from courses offered at the School.

The Judge Advocate General's School is composed of three departments and the Office of the School Secretary.

The Academic Department. This department conducts resident instruction for all active Army and reserve judge advocates, as well as some Naval and Air Force officers. It also prepares academic texts. Resident courses include the Judge Advocate General (Basic) Course, for the orientation of newly commissioned judge advocates, and the Judge Advocate Officer (Advanced) Course, which covers the field of military law in greater depth. The department also conducts several specialized courses, generally two weeks in length, including courses in military justice, procurement law, international law, civil law, military affairs, civil affairs law, a combination resident and nonresident reserve course, and refresher courses for reserve component officers. The department is composed of the International and Comparative Law, Military Affairs, Military Justice, Military Training, and Procurement Law Divisons.

The Nonresident Training Department. This department is responsible for developing nonresident training programs to insure the continued high level of professional legal competence required of military lawyers. In this connection, the department administers the judge advocate portion of the Army extension course program and prepares and distributes the judge advocate nonresident training material used in extension courses, USAR Schools, and staff training materials used by the Judge Advocate General Service Organization (JAGSO) Detachments, the Judge Advocate Sections of USAR, and National Guard units. The department also provides liaison through periodic staff visits with the USAR School Judge Advocate Branch Departments, the JAGSO Detachments, and National Guard units. The department is composed of the Individual Training and Career Management Division and the Nonresident Materials Preparation Division.

The Plans and Publications Department. This department is responsible for the conduct and coordination of research in the military legal

The official source of information concerning courses of instruction offered at all Army service schools, including The Judge Advocate General's School, is the U. S. Army Formal Schools Cata'log (Department of the Army Pamphlet 3S0-1O). That catalog provides detailed information for staff officers, commanders, and personnel officers who are concerned with the selection of individuals for school attendance; for commissioned officers, both active and reserve, of the armed forces, and civilian employees of the Government who are interested in attending particular courses; and for others who may wish to acquaint

7

themselves with the Army's training opportunities. In addition, Army regulations govern related matters such as attendance by military personnel from foreign countries. These authorities should always be consulted for the latest official information. Quotas for the numbered courses mentioned above are handled by the United States Continental Army Command, Fort Monroe, Virginia. Particular inquiries concerning this School may be addressed to the Commandant, The Judge Advocate General's School, United States Army, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901.

Judge Advocate Officer Advanced Course. In this course, selected judge advocates are educated for leadership in the broad fields of military law. This course offers an academic year of graduate level study in all areas of law relevant to military legal practice. It is approved by the American Bar Association as meeting the standards required for a graduate legal study program. It is open to highly qualified and carefully selected career judge advocates or legal specialists of the armed forces of the United States and allied nations. The course is intended to deepen and broaden a philosophical appreciation of the role of law in its application to all phases of military life through recognition of the continual impact of legal principles and standards at all levels of command, and thus to prepare the officer student to render legal services to higher commanders under varying conditions of present and future military operations and organizations.

The curriculum of this thirty-four-week course (September-May) includes the study of military criminal law and practice, the philosophy of penology, public contract law, statutory and regulatory controls and directives for procurement, taxation, administrative law concerning military and civilian personnel, investigative powers, administrative

board procedures, administration of military reservations, non-appropriated fund activities, property, claims, litigation, individual legal assistance, civil affairs, domestic emergencies, international law, the legal aspects of counterinsurgency, comparative law, and jurisprudence.

In addition, successful completion of the course requires the submission of a thesis of graduate level (LL.M.) quality which makes a substantial contribution to military legal scholarship. This requirement is one of the principal requirements of the Advanced Course. Topics and scope notes for theses written by members of the Sixteenth Advanced Course may be found in Appendix VIII. Several will be published in forthcoming issues of the Military Law Review.

The Sixteenth Advanced Class began on 5 September 1967 with 32 student in attendance: 27 U. S. Army judge advocates, 1 U. S. Navy judge advocate, 2 U. S. Marine Corps judge advocates, and two foreign officers, Captain Wen-Pu Chu, Republic of China Navy and First Lieutenant Ahmad Reza Kheradmand, Imperial Iranian Army. The class graduated on 24 May 1968. The course is conducted in a two semester format described in the following paragraphs:

1. First Semester (5 September-21 December 1967).

a. Military Justice Instruction. One hundred (100) hours of classroom instruction were presented on military justice subjects. This included instruction on evidence, procedure, criminal law, jurisdiction, and initial and appellate review. In addition, guest speakers provided presentations on penology, psychiatry, and crime laboratory techniques. This classroom instruction was supplemented by twenty (20) hours of seminars dealing with the right to counsel. wiretapping and electronic

10

eavesdropping. The entire military justice instruction was concluded by a four hour essay-type examination.

b. Procurement Law Instruction. Fifty-one (51) hours of classroom instruction were presented dealing with all aspects of procurement law. Twenty-eight (28) additional hours were devoted to seminars on such subjects as the role of the Comptroller General and the effect of sociological and economic policies on competition. A four-hour final examination was given.

2. Second Semester (3 January-24 May 1968). a. Military Affairs Instruction. The Military Affairs Division pre

sented one hundred fifteen (115) hours of classroom instruction on such subjects as personnel law, legal assistance, civil disturbances, military reservations, and claims. The students also participated in twenty (20) hours of seminars and took a four-hour essay-type examination.

b. International and Comparative Law Instruction. Ninety-four (94) hours of classroom instruction were allocated to the International

and Comparative Law Division. This time included talks by guest speakers, invited to lecture in the international law field. The students also participated in ten (10) hours of seminars and took a four-hour examination.

3. Military Training. During both semesters, the Military Training Division presented seventy-seven (77) hours of instruction covering division operations and common subjects. In addition to formal instruction, the class attended Exercise Brass Strike at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, during the period 12-13 October 1967. The exercise consisted of demonstrations of weapons, tactics, and equipments.

4. Thesis Program. At the beginning of the semester, the students were .Issued a list of approximately one hundred suggested thesis topics coverIng a wide spectrum of military law. Students could choose one of the suggested topics or could submit one of their own creation for

12

approval by the academic division most directly related to the subject. Every student was required to select a topic by 9 October 1967. Upon approval of his selection, a thesis adviser was assigned to him. During the first semester, two weeks were scheduled solely for thesis research. During the second semester, on week each in January and March was scheduled for uninterrupted thesis research. The first draft of the thesis was due 12 February 1968. The completed thesis was due on 1 April 1968. It was evaluated in turn by the thesis adviser, the division chief, and the Department Director, and a final grade determined. The thesis was allotted a weight of 30% in determining each student's final overall grade in the Advanced Course.

5. LOGEX. Advanced Class students participated in LOGEX 68 from 2-10 May 1968. LOGEX is a controlled command post exercise conducted annually at Fort Lee, Virginia. The exercise stresses the immense complexities of the administrative and logistical requirements for the support of a theater of operations. Inter-staff coordination and cross-service cooperation are required for successful play. Problems requiring judge advocate play illustrate the importance of legal services to the success of such operations. Play is arranged to teach this fact not only to judge advocate players but to players in other staff sections.

6. Graduation. The Sixteenth Advanced Class graduated on 24 May 1968. The speaker at the graduation exercise was Major General Charles L. Decker, USA, Retired, Director, National Defender Project and formerly The Judge Advocate General, U. S. Army, from I January 1961 to 30 December 1963.

ducted twice a year primarily for officers newly commissioned in the Judge Advocate General's Corps, training is provided in the fundamentals of military law. The content of the course stresses those areas of military practice with which newly appointed judge advocates are most likely to be concerned in their first duty assignments. Accordingly, the course is devoted primarily to the fundamentals of military criminal law and practice in order to equip the graduate with a working knowledge of the duties of trial and defense counsel before general courtsmartial. Instruction is also given on the provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailor's Civil Relief Act, problems of domicile as affected by military status, domestic relations, immigration, adoption, wills, insurance, personal taxation, family financial problems, debt counseling, suits for and against servicemen, and the mechanics of the Army's legal assistance program. The course also includes those laws and regulations concerning many aspects of military personnel administration including appointment, enlistment, promotion, reduction, retirement, discharge, pay, death and disability benefits, and matters of practice and procedure before administrative boards concerned with such matters. Special attention is also given to the problems of the administration of military reservations, including the powers and duties of a post commander to regulate traffic, make arrests, regulate ingress and egress, deal with property both public and private, and manage and control the operation of such nonappropriated fund activities as post exchanges, commissaries, clubs, and other associations. A substantial block of instruction is also given on those laws and regulations covering claims for and against the Government. The course includes only an introductory coverage of the law of .public contracts, civil affairs, and international law. A graduate of the Basic Course is expected to return to the School at a later time

for instruction on these subjects by attendance at an appropriate short course, as described below, should his duties so require.

The students attended a two and one-half week Officer Training Course at Fort Lee, Virginia, as a prerequisite to the Basic Course. The primary purpose of this requirement was to increase the newly commissioned officer's appreciation of the problems of military command and acquaint him with military customs, courtesies and traditions. Additionally, non-ROTC graduate students were required to take the nine-week Armor Officer Basic Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

JAGEX, a command post exercise begun in 1960, was conducted again this year for the Forty-Seventh and Forty-Eeighth Basic Classes. Play of that exercise requires four days. Students are divided into small groups and organize themselves into typical staff judge advocate offices. Advanced Class students assigned to each group act as the staff judge advocate, deputy staff judge advocate, and as group controllers to supervise and pace the play, introduce problems, furnish advice, and review and critique player solutions for accuracy, completeness, and practicability. Problems likely to be encountered in the day-to-clay operations of a staff judge advocate office were prepared by the four law-teaching divisions of the department. Realism was further height

15

ened by the introduction of several "live" problems using staff and faculty personnel as actors.

A continuing feature of the instruction given Basic Course students is the moot court program. This program is designed to give newly commissioned judge advocate officers practical experience in military trial practice and procedure. Moot courts are simulated general courtsmartial based on factual situations prepared by faculty members. The positions of trial and defense counsel members of the court, and witnesses are .filled by members of the Basic Course. Each student has at least one opportunity to act as trial or defense counsel. The law officer's part is normally played by a member of the staff and faculty, or the Advanced Class.

JAGEX play and the moot court program were combined over this four day period to add realism to the operation of the "staff judge advocate's office."

The speaker at the graduation exercises for. the Forty-Seventh Basic Class was Major General Autrey J. Maroun, USA, Deputy Assistant Secretary (Reserve Affairs), Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower). The speaker at the graduation exercises for the FortyEighth Basic Class was Major General David W. Gray, USA, Deputy Commanding General, United States Army Continental Army Command.

Procurement Law Course. The three-week course was given three times in Fiscal Year 1968. This course concentrates on the legal aspects of government procurement. These include a study of the general principles of government contract law, legal principles pertaining to appropriated funds, procurement policies, types of contracts, procurement by formal advertising and by competitive negotiation, mistakes in bids, modification of contracts, cost principles, subcontracts, price revision, disputes, claims, remedies, termination for default or convenience, taxation, labor law, and the utilization and disposition of government property.

The course enjoys an outstanding reputation throughout Government agencies. Although some of the other short resident courses also utilize guest lectures, one of the distinctive features of his course is its extensive use of guest speakers who are in key positions in government procurement and can thus speak with authority as specialists in their fields. About 40 per cent of the students attending these courses in FY 68 were civilian attorneys employed by the various departments of the Department of Defense and other agencies of the Government. Approximately 25 per cent were Army reserve judge advocates on active duty training. The remainder were active Army, Navy, or Air Force officers.

This course is not a credit course for branch qualification of reserve officers. No attempt is made to cover subjects in depth, and the content of the curriculum is subject to continuous revision.

Law in Vietnam Course. This one-week course was offered for the first time during FY 1967. The special need for knowledge caused by our commitments in this South East Asian country gave rise to the creation of this course. Two cycles were offered in FY 1967, and again in FY 1968. The course was conducted mainly by guest speakers recently returned from South Vietnam with firsthand knowledge of the country and the problems involved.

This course is designed primarily for lawyers who will be stationed in South Vietnam. This is not a credit course for branch qualification of reserveIofficers. .

Judge Advocate General's Corps Officer Orientation Course. This four-week course is similar to a course offered during the "Berlin buildup." It is a condensation of the lOweek Basic Course.

S. Army Judiciary. This seminar is not listed in the U. S. Army Formal Schools Catalog.

Guest Speaker Program. During the course of each academic year, a large number of eminent guest speakers present lectures of interest to the faculty and student body. The subjects of their addresses cover such widely diverse topics as the Geneva Prisoner of War Convention, Civil Affairs in Action-Vietnam, Government Contracts and the Role of the Comptroller General, the Mission and Functions of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records, Psychiatry and the Law, and Soviet Interpretation of International Law.

Each speaker is selected for his experience, his recognized status as an authority in his field, and the importance of his subject as it bears upon the practice of military law. A complete list of the guest speakers

20

who addressed various courses conducted at the School during FY 1968 is contained in Appendix X.

Text Preparation Program. Long-range plans were formulated and work begun, in FY 1961, upon an ambitious program to prepare a series of textbooks dealing with military law for publication as Department of the Army pamphlets. The volumes will form the foundation of both resident and nonresident instruction. It was recognized at the outset that the task would be a formidable one requiring a number of years to complete and would absorb a very substantial part of the total intellectual energies of every member of the resident faculty. The task of revision and expanson of these texts could never be complete at anyone time. However, the program was necessary in that written materials were not available from other sources.

During FY 1968 DA Pamphlet 27-162, Claims, was revised. Despite severe shortages and unusually rapid turnover of personnel caused by the current world situation, work on the textbook program has contiued. The addition of new courses has required each faculty member to devote a greater proportion of working time to classroom instruction. A tabular report on the status of DA Pamphlets on military legal subjects appears as Appendix XII.

Thesis Lending Library. The University of Virginia School of Law Library serves as the thesis lending library. Copies of thesis written by members of Judge Advocate Officer Advanced Courses are available on a temporary loan basis from this library. A catalogue of thesis is available from the School.

Foreign Student Informationa'l Program. The Military Training Division coordinates an informational and ori~ntation program for the foreign officers who attend the School. The program's objective is to give these foreign officers, in addition to their military training, a balanced understanding of United States society, institutions, and ideals. They are introduced to the University of Virginia International Club, participate in local tours and social activities, and are entertained in private homes. They are assisted in visits to New York, Washington, D. c., and other large cities during their stay. The two foreign students in the Sixteenth Advanced Class participated in the Informational Tour sponsored by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Operations, Department of the Army. The Tour included visits to Denver, Colorado, The United States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. A tour of Washington, D. c., included visits to the White House, Capitol Hill, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the Smithsonian Institution.

21

EducatirJrlal Ad-uisor. The School secured the part-time

services of an Educational Advisor, Dr. David W. Abbott, Assistant Professor of Education, University of Virginia, during Fiscal Year 1968. Dr. Abbott is a highly qualified educator, having received his Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts with a specilization in Learning. The role of the Educational Advisor is to provide a source of expertise on new developments in the educational field, particularly learning methodology, and thus to serve as a conduit in bringing ap propriate educational innovations to the School.

The educational advisor receives DR. DAVID W. ABBOTT general directives from the ComEducational Advisor mandant, TJAGSA, and performs

on his own initiative continuing consulting service to the School. On the basis of his formal higher educational background, and his experience and professional knowledge of advanced learning concepts, he analyzes the effectiveness of teaching techniques used in resident instruction at the School including, but not limited to, classroom presentation methods, materials provided students, examination and grading procedures. He then makes recommendations for charges appropriate to the particular circumstances at the School and consonant with its prescribed mission.

Because Dr. Abbott is leaving the University of Virginia at the end of the academic year to become chairman of the Department of Psychology at Florida Technological University, Orlando, Florida, the School will be der ived of his expertise and experience during Fiscal Year 1969. Howe-v~r, until Dr. Abbott is replaced at the University of Virginia, the School has obtained the services of Dr. John Sanderson, Associate Professor of Education at the University as a consultant. Dr. Sanderson's particular expertise is in the area of test construction and this association should also be most helpful to the School.

NONRESIDENT TRAININC

General. The primary mission of the Nonresident Training Department of The Judge Advocate General's School is to provide training services for approximately 4200 reserve component judge advocate officers and other reserve component personnel not on extended active duty. In addition to preparing those reservists for active duty assignment, the Nonresident Training Department contributes to continuing the legal education of active duty Army judge advocate officers and enlisted personnel, their counterparts in other services, and a number of civilian personnel who need training and information in military legal matters. The Nonresident Training Department accomplishes its mission through a variety of programs administered by its two divisions.

Nonresident Materials Preparation Division. The Nonresident Materials Preparation Division is the arm of the Nonresident Training Department most concerned with legal writing and editing. This division prepares in:tructional and student material for the USAR Schools and extension courses. These preparation duties are performed in conjunction with the appropriate academic divisions. Some of the courses this division prepare, in final form include: The USAR School Judge Advocate Officer Career Course; The USAR School Branch Officer Career Course; The Judge Advocate Officer Career Extension Course; The USAR School Judge Advocate Reserve New Develop

ments Course; The USAR School Staff Judge Advocate Operations Course; The Extension Specilization Courses; and the USAR School and Extension Common Subjects Courses. Staff training problems are also prepared by the Nonresident Materials Preparation Division and are utilized by reserve Judge Advocate units and sections. It is E'stimated that this division prepares or reviews approximately 2000 hours of instructions each fiscal year. It is through this division that The Judge Advocate General's School

LTC RUPERT P. HALL and its N onresiclen t Training DeDirector, N onresiden t partment seek to provide for the reTraining Department serve Judge Advoca te officer the

equivalent educational opportunities available to the active duty Judge Advocate officer.

a. Extension Courses. As part of a program of continuous updating of- extension courses, the Nonresident Materials Preparation Division, in cooperation with the Academic Department, revised twelve subcourses used in the Judge Advocate General's School Extension Program and one of the common subjects used by the service schools. The basic military justice subcourse has been revised, to be published as the

23

anticipated Mrl1lual for COllrts-M(/rliul, UI/II~d Sl(/l(~s, /9('H, becomes available.

b. USAR School Courses:

(1) The Judge Advocate Officer Career Course under Annex AL to USCONARC Training Directive. The Nonresident Materials Preparation Division provided instructional materials for 57 judge advocate reservists enrolled in the USAR School Judge Advocate Officer Career Course. This represents the final section of this course that will be offered.

(2) Branch Officer Career Course. Materials for all military legal subjects taught in USAR schools in the Branch Officer Career Course were distributed by the Nonresident Training Department. Approximately 4,000 student texts were distributed for use during the reserve duty portion of the period. The deparment has abo prepared the 1968 ANACDUTRA instructional materials for the 171 judge advocate reservists enrolled in the Branch Officer Career Course. This version of the career course for judge advocates will be concluded during the summer of 1968 and a new USAR School Program will be offered to judge advocate reservists participating in the Officer Career Course in 19681969.

(3) New Development, Course. The Nonresident Training Department, during the last fiscal year, administered the USAR School Judge Advocate Reserve New Developments Course, which was offered as a graduate course to 97 reserve component judge advocates who had previously completed a Judge Advocate Officer Career Course. Subject matter included military justice, military affiairs, procurement law, and international law.

(4) Staff Judge Advocate Operations Course. International material was provided for the 106 students taking this post-graduate course, which concentrates on the solution of practical legal problems occurring in the office of the staff judge advocate of a unit readying for mohilization and on through the stage of demobilization.

c. Unit and Staff Training.

In accordance with the training objectives expressed by Appendix VIII to Annex AA of the USC ONARC Training Directive, the Nonresident Training Department provides judge advocate officers assigned to troop program units and Judge Advocate General Organization Detachments with training materials throughout the reporting period. The practical legal problems furnished through the Special Catalogue of Staff Training Material for Reserve Components have been revised and supplemented and a new catalog is being prepared for publication in 1968. For ANACDUTRA of JAG Detachments during 1968, the Department has coordinated with the Academic Department of the School to arrange a week's presentation on military legal subjects by School personnel at both Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi. ANACDUTRA sites.

A Special Training Program for '-Var Crimes Detachments was conducted this past year as the ANACDUTRA for officer personnel assigned to the Judge Advocate War Crimes Detachments in the USAR. Officer members of the war crimes teams attended The Judge Advocate General's School from 14 to 25 Augw t 1967 for intensive academic study and practical work in war crimes team organization and war crimes investigation. Instruction by visiting lecturers with war crimes experience and experienced personnel in the field of criminal investigation contributed to the overall success of the program.

Individual Training and Career Management Division. In March 1968 the Extension Course Division merged with the Individual Training and Career Management Division and assumed the name of the latter. The merger was designed to streamline the Nonresident Training Department by eliminating duplication of files and work among the divisions and by centralizing overall control of reserve officers training and career planning.

a. Individual Training.

As a part of its individual trammg function, the Individual Training and Career Management Division administers a variety of extension courses for armed forces personnel and qualified federal government employees:

(1) The Judge Advocate Basic Indoctrination Extension Course, designed to provide a ba,ic understanding of the military legal system, is required for newly commissioned .lAGe officers (without concurrent call to active duty), who have not completed the equivalent of an officer basic or orientation course. This course, or its equivalent, is an educational prerequisite for promotion to captain.

(2) The Judge .-hhocate Officer Career Extension Course (5-IHE24): Prerequisites-actual, constructive or equivalent credit for the Judge Advocate Basic Indoctrination Extension Course. Applicant must be a commissioned officer of the armed forces whose assignment, actual or anticipated, is to the Judge Advocate General's Corps or his service's equivalent. Students enrolled in this course must complete a minimum of 70 credit hours each enrollment year. At least 30 of the 70 required annual credit hours must be completed by extension subcourses. The remaining 40 credit hours may be earned either by completing extension subcourses or attending one of the equivalent resident courses. Successful completion of Y2 of the career extension course will currently qualify a reserve component judge advocate officer for promotion to the grade of major. Completion of the entire course qualifies a JAGC officer for promotion through the grade of colonel. Effective 9 June 1969, however, completion of an appropriate Command and General Staff School course will be a prerequisite to promotion to colonel. On 1 July 1968 the E-24 course is to be replaced by the Judge Advocate Officer Career Extension Course, 5-18-E23. The revision of the career course was undertaken to make that course interchangeahle with the USAR School Advocate Official Career Course.

(3) Specialization Extension Courses, available Lo reserve COlllponent judge advocate officers who have completed a Judge Advocate Officer Career Course, provide for study in depth of selected subjects in int.ernational law. military justice. military affairs. and procuremenl law.

(4) Special Extension Courses provide training ill military-legal and related subjects to certain military personnel who ,lfe not judge adv()ca te officers:

(a) Military Law for Commanders and Staff Officers is designed for officers who are not members of the Judge Advocate General's Corp~ but who, by virtue of their dut.ies. require knowledge of military law and procedure.

(b) The Legal Administrative Technician Course (MOS 713A) provides training to personnel holding or preparing for the military occupational specialty of Legal Administrative Technician.

(c) The Branch Senior NCO Course provides training to enlisted grades E-6 and above who hold MOS 71D.

(6) The division also administers the following special training projects for J AGC reserve officers who have completed the Judge Advocate Officer Career Course or its equivalent:

(a) The Military-Legal Thesis Program enables reservists to write scolarly articles on military-legal subjects, for which retirement points are awarded. The purpose of the program is to encourage the preparation and publication in civilian or military journals of scholarly articles or (TeMises on mili tary jurisprudence by judge advoca te reservists.

(b) The Legal Area Specialist Program, offered to judge advocate reservists with a foreign language proficiency, provides training projects, consisting of the translation of legal codes, treatises, cases, and other civili.an or military-legal materials from a foreign language into English or vIce versa.

(c) Miscellaneous training projects, consisting of the preparation and presentation of military-legal instruction, have also been assigned to judge advocate reservists.

b. Career Management.

(1) To provide prompt and accurate career advice to reserve judge advocates, the Individual Training and Career Management Division maintains detailed records for each reservist assigned to the Judge Advocate General's Corps. At the present time separate detailed personnel files and locator cards are maintained on each of 2,266 judge advocate reservists. Each file includes all available written material pertaining to an officer's career from the time of his apointment until his retiremen t. An additional file is maintained for each reservist, officer and enlisted, and each active duty enrollee in the extension course program. These files include all information pertinent to the enrollee's military

27

http:civili.an

education. These files are maintained throughout the individual's extension course enrollment and for a period of six years thereafter. During fiscal year 1968 approximately 4,200 such files were maintained by the Individual Training and Career Management Division.

(2) In November 1967 the Nonresident Training Department published a special Reserve Issue of the Judge Advocate Legal Service to provide guidance and assistance to reservists in areas such as retirement points, unit training, educational opportunities, mobilization designation assignments, promotions, and constructive credit.

(3) The Individual Training and Career Management Division engages in a constant flow of correspondence with individual reservists concerning their career development. In addition, every effort is made to contact reserve officers on a personal basis whenever possible. Each judge advocate reservist attending a resident short course at the School is interviewed by a member of the division. Such interviews often alert reservists to important career matters and contribute to the orderly development of their reserve career.

c. New Developments in Reserve Education.

During fiscal, year 1968 the Nonresident Training Department provided comments and recommendations to Department of the Army and USCONARC concerning proposed regulatory changes affecting USAR schools, extension course programs, common subjects instruction, educational and branch qualification of reservists and the organization and training of Army reserve units and personnel. As a result of coordination between the Department and USCONARC, a substantial revision of the Judge Advocate Basic Indoctrination Extension Course, the Judge Advocate Officer Career Extension Course, and the USAR School Judge Advocate Officer Career Course will come into effect during fiscal year 1969. In addition to the revision of the existing courses, a new concept in career courses called the Nonresident/Resident Option will also be introduced in fiscal year 1969.

d. Mobilization Designee Training.

The Individual Training and Career Management Division performs the administrative functions relating to the assignment and ANACDUTRA of judge advocate officers assigned to the Academic and Plans and Publications Departments of the School.

PLANS AND PUBLICATIONS

General. The Plans and Publications Department has overall responsibility for the School's mission in conducting and coordinating legal research and its dissemination to Army judge advocates. The fulfillment of this function has resulted in The Judge Advocate General's School becoming a center for the development of scholarship in the field of military law.

In distributing the results of this legal research, the department prepares and publishes diverse permanent and periodical military legal publications. It also uses training films as a method of acquainting Army personnel with the military legal system and with the services provided by the Judge Advocate General's Corps.

The department prepares an integrated course of instruction in mili tary legal subjects for use in Army service schools, supervises the instruction in military law given ROTC students, plans and conducts the Judge Advocate General's Conference and common subjects instructors' conference as well as numerous special projects and research programs. It also coordinates the judge advocate phase of LOGEX, the annual logistical exercise for service school and reserve component personnel.

PlI b fica tions.

(I) Judge A ([vocate Legerl Service. This Departmen t of the Army pamphlet series is designee! for rapid dissemination of new developments

in field of military law to active and reserve component Army judge advocates. The Legal Service is printed in Charlottesville to facilitate its over printing and distribution. The mailing lists undergo constant revision. The press run on each issue is approximately 6,700 copies. Bulk distribution is made to the Air Force and Navy.

All cases decided by the United States Court of Military Appeals are reported in the Legal Service, reaching Army lawyers in the field much earlier than the printed advance

function of publishing digested opinions of The Judge Advocate General of the Army, due to cessation of the tri-service Digest of Opinions bound series. Also, the perforation and page size of the Legal Service were altered to allow for greater content and to render its pages interchangeable with those of he new loose-leaf Manual for Courts-Martial. 1968. Between I July 1967 and 30 June 1968, 32 issues of the .Tudg

During FY 1968, Volumes 37-41 of the Military Law Review were printed. These volumes contained various articles of interest in the following fields: international law, military affairs, military justice, and procurement law. Plans have been made for Military Law Review republication of outstanding law review articles of peculiar interest to judge advocates and inclusion of case comments on important cases in the field of military law.

The Military Law Review exchange program has secured for the School library legal periodicals from all over the world and continues to provide the School library with current law journals. The program was again expanded in FY 1968.

(4) The department is responsible for the preparation and review of common subjects lesson plans in military legal subjects for use in Army service schools and USAR schools. Some of these common subjects are "Martial Law," "Military Justice," "Legal Aspects of Counterinsurgency," "The Geneva Convention," "Code of Conduct," and "Basic Military Administrative Law." During FY 1968, the revision of the lesson plan on military justice was completed, and revision of all lesson plans was begun.

(5) Legal Clerk's Handbook. This text was published last year as a step-by-step guide for legal clerks. The widespread demand for the Handbook has resulted in the decision to have it published as a Department of the Army pamphlet. At The Judge Advocate General's School, the text will be used in the field of nonresident instruction and in any future legal clerk resident course.

(6) SJA Special List of Ref!.u'lations. This publication is an Annex to Special Catalog Staff Training Material for Reserve Components and contains a list of Army regulations frequently used in staff judge advocate offices in the Army. The list was prepared and published by the Publications Division, and distribution to both active and reserve judge advocates was made in March 1968.

(7) Pocket Card on New ArtiCle 15, UCMj. The department again made arrangements to revise the wallet-size card, GTA 27-1, which summarizes the policies, procedures, and authorized punishments applicable to nonjudicial punishment under the new Article 15, UCM.J.

Special Activities.

(I) The Judge Advocate General's Conference. The 1967 Judge Advocate General's Conference was held during the period 2-5 October 1967 at The Judge Advocate General's School. The conference enables senior judge advocates from throughout the world to meet and discuss important new developments in military law. General Harold K. Johnson, Chief of Staff, U. S. Army, was the keynote speaker. The Honorable Paul Warnke was the principal speaker at the conference banquet. In addition, selected speakers from the Office of The Judge Advocate General and from major continental and overseas commands addressed the conferees on legal problems of current interest.

(2) LOGEX. The extensive planning and supervision necessary for the judge advocate play of LOGEX 1968 was accomplished by the School. The judge advocate sections in this Army-wide logistical exercise were manned by the members of the 6th and lIth Judge Advocate Detachments, from Seattle, 'Vashington, and Jackson, Mississippi, respectively; by the judge advocate sections of the 310th FASCOM, 3IIth and 103d Support Brigades, the 362d, 364th and 365th Civil Affairs Area Headquarters and the officers of the Judge Advocate General's School Advanced Class. In addition, the School provided comprehensive pre-LOGEX instruction for all JAG participants. LOGEX 1968 was found to be a valuable teaching device in confronting the players with the many legal problems arising in a logistical command. Again, this year's judge advocate play was highlighted by moot courts-martial, which aroused considerable interest among LOGEX participants of all branches. The appearance of the Army's Chief of Trial Judiciary as Law Officer at these moot courts-martial added to the realism pervading the play. The integrated play of active duty and reserve judge advocate officers demonstrated the value of the Judge Advocate General's Corps to the other branches of the Army.

(3) Enlisted Evaluation Program for MOS Codes 7JD20, 7JD40, 7 J D50, and 7J E20. The purpose of the enlisted evaluation program is to test the proficiency of enlisted personnel in the grade E-3 and above holding the military occupational specialty of Legal Clerk (MOS 71D) and Court Reporter (MOS 71E). The grades achieved by the individual are the composite result of a commander's evaluation report, a pencil and paper test, and, in the case of court reporters, a performance test in reporting and transcribing. The results are used to determine the qualifications of an individual in his particular grade and his eligibility or proficiency pay and promotion.

The Plans Division is responsible for writing test items (questions)

for the written tests, and for preparing a 30-minute tape recording, extracted from an actual record of trial, for the court reporter's performance test. The recording consists of opening statements, examination of witnesses, arguments, and instructions. The pencil and paper tests are machine graded at the Enlisted Evaluation Center, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, while the transcripts from the performance tests are graded at the School. The Enlisted Evaluation Center is also responsible for the final consolidation and publication of the tests and grades. The division is now in the process of preparing the 1969 tests.

(4) Law Day USA. The School has the responsibility for coordinating the Law Day activities of the Department of the Army. This year Law Day chairmen were appointed at each Army installation, command, and activity, and these chairmen were placed on the mailing list for the American Bar Association's Law Day materials. In addition, the School mailed to the chairmen display materials, illustrating the activities of the Judge Advocate General's Corps.

(5) Army-Wide Training Films. During FY 1968, the department recommended production in FY 1969 of a new training film depicting the trial of a general Court-martial. It is hoped that the film will be produced and released concurrent with the effective date of the new Manual for Courts-Martial, 1968. Also, a proposal was made to carry
