  3-6. The SJA leads the OSJA. The SJA manages and leads with the help of key advisors: DSJA; division
  chiefs; legal administrator; command or chief paralegal NCO; and a senior civilian. The SJA ensures that the
  OSJA is led, trained, equipped, and supported in a manner to accomplish the mission. The SJA ensures that
  assigned or attached JAG Corps personnel have the requisite individual training—legal, joint, and tactical—
  to deploy in support of CCMD missions. Each division within the OSJA has a division chief who receives
  direction, guidance, and support from senior leaders. They in turn provide direction, guidance, and support
  that is more specific to those who work in their division. To achieve the Army’s policy of achieving
  interoperability, whenever possible, foreign legal service officers of allies and foreign partners will be
  integrated directly into the OSJA’s operations, training, and battle rhythm.
  THE STAFF JUDGE ADVOCATE
  3-7. The SJA is the field representative of TJAG and is responsible and accountable for the delivery and
  quality of legal services within the applicable area of operations. The SJA is the officer-in-charge of the
  OSJA. The SJA is responsible for planning and resourcing legal support and conducting training,
  assignments, and the professional development of JALS personnel assigned to the command and its
  subordinate units. In accordance with Article 6 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the SJA is
  authorized to communicate directly with TJAG and other supervisory judge advocates of superior or
  subordinate commands as necessary and in the SJA’s discretion.
  3-8. The SJA serves as the primary legal advisor to the commander exercising general court-martial
  convening authority (GCMCA) as prescribed by the UCMJ, the Manual for Courts-Martial, and applicable
  regulations. The SJA is a member of the commander’s personal and special staff. In accordance with Article
  6 of the UCMJ, the commander and the SJA shall communicate directly at all times on matters relating to
  the administration of military justice, including, but not limited to, all legal matters affecting the morale,
  good order, and discipline of the command. Article 6 authority applies to SJAs across all Army commands,
  ASCCs, and direct reporting units. In accordance with Section 7037, Title 10, United States Code, no officer
  or employee of the DOD may interfere with the ability of the SJA to give independent legal advice to a
  commander. The SJA provides legal advice and support to the staff and coordinates actions with other staff
  sections to ensure the timely and accurate delivery of legal services throughout the command.
  THE DEPUTY STAFF JUDGE ADVOCATE
  3-9. The DSJA is assigned to the OSJA and serves as the SJA’s second-in-charge. While the SJA is the
  primary legal advisor to the command, the DSJA is responsible for the day-to-day administration, training,
  and execution of the OSJA activities. The DSJA coordinates the efforts of the legal administrator and
  command or chief paralegal NCO throughout the OSJA. The DSJA ensures that every member of the OSJA
  receives the mentorship, training, equipment, and support to meet mission requirements consistent with the
  SJA’s intent. The DSJA serves as the acting SJA in the SJA’s absence and therefore is always prepared to
  assume the SJA’s duties and responsibilities. The DSJA may supervise legal services at a separate location
  during split-based operations. Such operations may include serving as the SJA of the rear detachment when
  the SJA deploys with the forward element.
  DIVISION CHIEFS
  3-10. Division chiefs are key OSJA leaders with responsibility for the mission success of their respective
  divisions within the OSJA. Typically, the divisions within the OSJA are organized according to legal
  functions. Division chiefs lead and supervise attorneys and support staff in the delivery of legal support
  within their legal function. Division chiefs advise the SJA and DSJA concerning all matters falling within
  the scope of their particular legal function and train subordinates in the legal skills required by the function.
  SUBORDINATE JUDGE ADVOCATES
  3-11. Subordinate judge advocates within the OSJA perform legalduties under the supervision of a division
  chief. They provide legal advice, legal support to staff planning, review actions for legal sufficiency,
  investigate factual matters related to legal actions, write legal opinions, prepare legal actions, and provide
  Soldier and Family legal services. To these ends, subordinate judge advocates also advise commanders, staff
