  adequately investigate allegations of significant wrongdoing, and choosing expediency over fair application
  of the principles of proportionality and distinction under the law of armed conflict. JALS personnel owe
  commanders and staffstheir assessment of legal risks and mitigation in accordance with the risk management
  process.(SeeATP 5-19for more information on risk management.)
  3-59. JALS personnel understand the command and support relationships established by unit orders with
  higher and subordinate commands. These relationships, usually found in Annex A and paragraph three of the
  order or plan, describe the types of authorities one command exerts over another. These relationships and
  authorities may create responsibilities to provide legal support and alter military justice jurisdiction. (See
  Chapter 2 and FM 6-0, Appendix B, for details on the various command and support relationships and
  associated authorities.)
  LEGAL SUPPORT TO COMMAND POST OPERATIONS
  3-60. In addition to the MDMP, the staff performs many tasks and executes multiple meetings to synchronize
  and coordinate among warfighting functions to support the operations process. JAG Corps supervisors may
  not have enough personnel to provide legal support to every meeting and working group while they
  participate in key events of the MDMP. JAG Corps supervisors identify which command post activities
  require legal support and which can be deferred. The types of activities that have higher priority will vary
  from unit to unit and operation to operation, requiring constant review by JAG Corps supervisors. JAG Corps
  personnel can be either consolidated and tasked to support as needed, tasked to integrate and directly support
  a warfighting function or integrating cell, or a combination of both.
  3-61. JAG Corps supervisors ensure adequate workspace, equipment, and connectivity in the CP to
  effectively provide legal support. The amount of workspace and its location isguided by how legal support
  is divided among CP activities. JAG Corps supervisors assist commanders when considering the
  effectiveness and survivability of a CP. This creates tension between the number of personnel and amount of
  equipment to perform necessary tasks and the ability to avoid detection and remain mobile. The task of
  designing and analyzing the layout of aCP is usuallydelegated to the operations officer and executive officer
  or chief of staff. OSJA supervisors participate with or engage the CP design team to ensure adequate
  workspace in the right locations to fulfill legal support requirements.
  3-62. JAG Corps personnel integrateintothe staff and directly support the warfighting functions as part of
  the operations process. Legal support must be synchronized with CP SOPs, battle drills, and battle rhythm.
  See table 3-2, examples of battle rhythm events requiring legal support. CP SOPs control the setup, security,
  and defense of the CP; shift, eating, and sleeping plans; priorities of work; reports; maintenance of equipment
  and vehicles; and use of Army Battle Command Systems (known as ABCS). CP battle drills include react to
  indirect fire, react to degraded network, react to a mass casualty event, execute dynamic targeting, execute
  close air support, and support troops in contact. JAG Corps personnel must follow the CP SOP and battle
  drills to effectively integrate with the commander and staff sections.
