PREFACE
The Operational Law Handbook is a “how to” guide for Judge Advocates practicing operational law.It provides references and describes tactics and techniques for the practice of operational law. Itsupports the doctrinal concepts and principles of FM 3-0 and FM 27-100. The Operational LawHandbook is not a substitute for official references. Like operational law itself, the Handbook is afocused collection of diverse legal and practical information. The handbook is not intended to provide “the school solution” to a particular problem, but to help judge advocates recognize, analyze,and resolve the problems they will encounter in the operational context.The Handbook was designed and written for the Judge Advocates practicing operational law. Thesize and contents of the Handbook are controlled by this focus. Frequently, the authors were forcedto strike a balance between the temptation to include more information and the need to retain theHandbook in its current size and configuration. Simply put, the Handbook, “cargo pocket sized” ismade for the soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, and coast guardsmen of the service judge advocategeneral’s corps, who serve alongside their clients in the operational context. Accordingly, theOperational Law Handbook is compatible with current joint and combined doctrine. Unlessotherwise stated, masculine pronouns apply to both men and women.The proponent for this publication is the International and Operational Law Department, The JudgeAdvocate General’s Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS).
