FM 3-84, Legal Support to Operations, is the Army’s manual for operational legal doctrine. This manual provides authoritative doctrine and practical guidance for commanders, judge advocates, legal administrators, paralegal Soldiers, and Department of the Army Civilian legal personnel across the range of military operations, during competition below conflict, crisis, and armed conflict. It outlines how the Judge Advocate General’s Corps is organized in accordance with the Army’s force design. It also discusses the delivery of legal support to the force.

Introduction

This manual establishes a foundation for the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG’s) Corps and judge advocate legal services (JALS) personnel to provide principled counsel and mission-focused legal support to the operational Army. It establishes an understanding of the roles and responsibilities that JAG Corps personnel have both between legal offices at different levels of command and between the legal section and the staff of the supported command, all in support of the commander and the Army.
