  disciplinary proceedings is a hallmark of a fair justice system. Accordingly, TJAG assesses that this support
  is essential to the performance of the defense mission. Paralegal support at the TDS-team level is equally
  important to mission success. SJAs and command or chief paralegal NCOs should actively coordinate the
  TDS paralegal assignment process with regional and senior defense counsel as they would for their respective
  OSJAs. This coordination ensures that paralegal support to the TDS teams meets the regulatory requirements
  in AR 27-10.
  3-38. All JAG Corps personnel involved in adversarial processes are required to advocate zealously on behalf
  of their client, whether the client is the Army or an individual. Disagreements between OSJA and TDS
  personnel are inherent in the adversarial process. Leaders at all levels of the JAG Corps share a common duty
  to foster professional relationships between personnel of the OSJA and TDS. Such professional relationships
  succeed when all JAG Corps personnel display mutual respect and support for each other’s roles and
  responsibilities.
  3-39. OSJA and brigade legal section leaders make all reasonable efforts to ensure TDS support is equally
  effective as the legal support provided to the government. Additionally, OSJA leaders make all training
  opportunities equally known and available to TDS personnel, as they would be for OSJA personnel.
  Personnel evaluations and other supervisory activities remain within the TDS hierarchy, wholly independent
  from the OSJA. However, TDS personnel are often attached to a local command for the purpose of processing
  leave requests or other routine personnel actions.
  LEGAL SUPPORT TO LARGE-SCALE COMBAT OPERATIONS
  3-40. As discussed in Chapter 2, the Army is returning its focus to large-scale combat operations, and away
  from limited contingency operations, to better prepare to confront peer and near-peer threats. The JAG Corps
  must, in turn, reorient its focus to supporting an Army conducting large-scale combat operations. Legal
  support in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places was primarily delivered from large base complexes in an
  operational environment where the military dominated all domains.
  3-41. During large-scale combat operations, echelons above brigade, namely divisions and corps, operate as
  tactical and operational elements in the assigned area. The JAG Corps is prepared to provide legal support in
  austere conditions to rapidly maneuvering and mobile unit headquarters. OSJA and legal operations
  detachment (LOD) elements supporting Army, joint, and multinational headquarters consider how to provide
  multi-functional legal support at multiple command posts simultaneously while anticipating minimal access
  to digital communication and information.
  3-42. JAG Corps leaders evaluate and analyze the anticipated operations of the supported unit to best design
  the structure for legal support at their echelon. Corps and division headquarters mayoperate both a main and
  tactical command post and regularly displace to avoid detection. Traditional OSJA and LOD division
  structure, centered on legal functions, may not adequately provide the legal support required of a dispersed
  and tactically focused corps or division headquarters in large-scale combat operations. SJAs have the
  responsibility and authority to task organize legal assets as necessary for mission accomplishment. To achieve
  interoperability, foreign legal service officers of allies and foreign partners are integrated directly into the
  OSJA’s operations, training, and battle rhythmwhenever possible.
  3-43. JAG Corps personnel operating at brigade and battalion echelons provide legal services under similar
  circumstances as personnel at corps and division. Depending on mission requirements, paralegals may need
  to physically locate with battalionsand companies to ensure adequate legal support. Junior judge advocates
  and paralegals could be required to operate geographically separated from technical support chains. As such,
  judge advocates and paralegals prepare for geographic separation during predeployment training.
  3-44. CPs during large-scale combat operations are smaller, more agile, and with less digital communications
  infrastructurethan stationary CPs in other operations. Additionally, digital communications infrastructure is
  likely a target for cyberspace and electromagnetic effects, creating disruption and degradation of the network.
  In large-scale combat conditions, JAG Corps leaders deliver legal support through a variety of means, execute
  off-network document production, and have hardcopy or off-network reference materials on hand.
  3-45. Members of OSJAs and brigade legal offices prepare themselves to provide support, and supervisors
  ensure their personnel are prepared. This includes having appropriate access to required networks and
