  Army Reserve Legal Structure and Organization
  This appendix discusses the structure and organization of legal support within the
  United States Army Reserve.
  OVERVIEW
  A-1. JAG Corps personnel in the Regular Army and Reserve Components train and operate to achieve one
  integrated corps. United States Army Reserve (USAR) judge advocates train with the expectation of
  deployment. They provide legal services in the JAG Corps core competencies on active duty, in areas of
  operations, and in reserve status. Legal support to operations includes the civilian legal skills that Army
  Reserve judge advocates bring to operations that include diverse areas such as finance, interagency
  government operations, civilian law enforcement, courthouse operations, and municipal law. These skills,
  among others, enable USAR judge advocates to provide effective support to all types of operations. Planners
  consider and integrate these skills into planning legal support for all phases of military operations.
  UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE LEGAL COMMAND
  A-2. The USAR Legal Command exercises command and control for Army Reserve legal units when they
  are not mobilized. This command provides both individual personnel fill capabilities and deployable unit
  structure. The management of deployable unit structure as an operational force requires the integration of the
  USAR JALS into standard Army processes for the deployment of units andthe use of unit personnel to fill
  individual mobilization requirements. The following principles guide the standardization of mobilization and
  training processes and procedures for Army Reserve legal units:
  (cid:122) TJAG or the Commander, Legal Command (USAR) receives and validates all taskings for judge
  advocates and other legal personnel requirements for unit or individual mobilizations.
  (cid:122) The USAR Legal Command uses established unit rotation methods to source validated
  requirements, consistent with the unit rotation methodsin use by the Army Reserve G-3, in support
  of the overall Army G-3 unit rotation plan.
  (cid:122) TJAG or Commander, Legal Command (USAR) retains approval authority, under the provisions
  of Section 806, Title 10, United States Code, and Section 7037(c)(2), Title 10, United States Code,
  for personnel assignment actions related to filling judge advocate mobilization requirements.
  (cid:122) Where possible, training opportunities for Army Reserve judge advocates should be coordinated
  with the Regular Army unit to which the judge advocate personnel will likely mobilize. Such
  coordination promotes habitual relationships and enhances familiarity and integration of the Army
  Reserve personnel into their projected active-duty unit and mission.
  LEGAL OPERATIONS DETACHMENTS AND TEAMS
  A-3. The legal operations detachment–multifunctional (LOD-M) provides a package of modular,
  mission-tailorable, individually deployable judge advocate teams that provide legal capabilities in support of
  modular units. LOD-M subordinate team capabilities support military operations, including support to joint,
  interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational operations. The subordinate elements of the LOD-M are
  the headquarters, the legal operations team–general (LOT-G) and the legal operations team–special (LOT-S).
  The LOT-S and LOT-G mobilize and deploy in conjunction with the headquarters, LOD-M, or individually,
  depending upon the operational need.
