text: Judge Advocate General’s Corps Support to Operations
  THE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL’S CORPS’ MATERIEL
  REQUIREMENTS
  3-69. The ability to communicate—sending and receiving information—represents JAG Corps personnel’s
  primary materiel requirements to deliver timely legal support in garrison and the deployed environment.
  Legal personnel must be adequately resourced to effectively perform their mission in support of the
  command. Communication, legal automation, and mobility are the most critical capability requirements.
  Additionally, the area of operationsmay necessitate other requirements to best support the command. Those
  requirements can include the need for legal personnel to have the proper levels of security clearance, security
  containers, and secure safes, andthe ability to provide an area for confidential, privileged communications
  among legal personnel and clients, investigating officers, commanders, and others as the situation requires.
  Early planning for security clearances is critical, as certain legal supportpositionsin a multidomain operation
  environment,especially to sensitive activity planning,willrequireTSand SCI clearances and that personnel
  are fully read-on to the required compartments and activities.
  COMMUNICATIONS
  3-70. Operations often occur in fluid, chaotic, and dangerous environments in which mobility is constrained.
  Legal advice is usually time-sensitive and often critical. JAG Corps personnel require access to
  communications that link them with the commander, subordinate commanders, the staff, and OSJAs at higher
  echelons. JAG Corps personnel often require legal assets and legal research resources located outside their
  supported unit’sarea of operations. Dedicated Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (known as
  NIPRNET) and SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network (known as SIPRNET) access are a priority
  capability requirement for judge advocates, paralegal NCOs, and legal administrators. When operational
  requirements dictate, JAG Corps personnel should have access to the Joint Worldwide Intelligence
  Communications System (known as JWICS). Additionally, when available, access to commercial,
  unclassified, and classified telephone and video conferencing systems are a priority requirement for legal
  personnel. JAG Corps personnel use communications available within their commands, including the Army
  Battle Command Systems (known as ABCS), combat net radios, common-user networks, the Army Data
  Distribution System equipment, and broadcast system equipment. In addition, JAG Corps personnel must
  have a dedicated digital sender on both NIPRNET and SIPRNET to scan and transmit critical, time-sensitive
  documents to any location. Scanners and cameras are alternatives to digital senders to capture images. When
  working in a coalition, JAG Corps personnel must have access to communications systems that enable them
  to communicatewith allies and partners.
  AUTOMATION
  3-71. Judge advocates and paralegals require automation to provide responsive legal services at all echelons
  of command. Practitioners require access to multiple online platforms to enhance technical reach back
  capability, such as the JAG Corps network (known as JAGCNet) and the Center for Law and Military
  Operations (knownasCLAMO).
  MOBILITY
  3-72. Major movement of legal personnel and equipment relies on the units to which they are assigned or
  attached for transportation. Sufficient vehicles are required for legal personnel, such as the OSJA or brigade
  legal section, military judges, and defense counsel. The number and type of vehicles will depend on the
  mission requirements. In addition to a modified table of organization and equipment (known as MTOE)
  authorized tactical wheeled vehicle assets, a division or corps OSJA may require additional tactical vehicles.
  OSJA or brigade legal sections typically require the use of one high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle
  or joint light tactical vehicle andone cargo trailer. Additionally, military judgesand trial defense personnel
  in the theater of operations might also require tactical vehicles. Mobility serves three distinct functions:
  (cid:122) Control of legal assets.
  (cid:122) Effective delivery of national security law and personnel service support.
  (cid:122) Service to geographic areas.
