  Legal Running Estimate
  D-1. Running estimates are the continuous assessment of the current situation used to determine if the
  current operation is proceeding according to the commander’s intent and if planned future operations are
  supportable. Running estimates include facts and assumptions, mission readiness, goals and requirements,
  and other information that impacts current and future operations. JAG Corps elements maintain a running
  estimate to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of current legal support and the status of legal risks,
  constraints, assumptions, and issues. The legal running estimate will vary depending on the supported unit
  task organization and operations. The template in figure D-1 is provided as a reference, but JAG Corps
  personnel should consider modifications and additions based on the client (the commander or operations cell
  for example) or the specific mission requirements. (See figure D-1 on page D-2 for an example legal running
  estimate.)
