Attorneys who are assigned to the JAG Corps are officers who are typically referred to as “Judge Advocates” and serve in a variety of capacities as legal advisors to the command.

China’s growing naval capabilities have garnered concern in U.S. defense circles – not to mention that of U.S. allies in East Asia – over the past decade and a half as Beijing has sought to expand its influence and territorial control in the waters bordering Southeast Asia. As if to accentuate the concern, China has been aggressively challenging its neighbors over disputed islands in the East and South China Seas.
