− | ==Description== | + | ==Structure== |
− | Judge Advocate General's Corps, also known as JAG, is the judicial arm of [[Right to Rebel]]. Judge Advocates serve primarily as legal advisors to the command to which they are assigned. In this function, they can also serve as the personal legal advisor to their commander. They are charged with the defense and prosecution of individuals under military law as provided in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Officers of the Corps are the chief officers of the [[Court-Martial]] and court of inquiry.

− | ==History== | + | ==Court Martial== |
− | General George Washington founded the U.S. Army JAG Corps on July 29th, 1775. Since then, the JAG Corps has played a key role in the events that shape the U.S. and the world while becoming one of the United States largest law firms, with more than 3,400 full- and part-time Attorneys. With such a rich history, it is no surprise that Army JAG Corps Attorneys have been prosecuting the "trials of the century" for centuries.
| + | [[Right to Rebel]] conducts [[Court-Martial| Court Martials]] if/when a member abuses our clearly established [[Rules & Regulations]]. Court Martials can be appealed by the alleged party to appear before the JAG corps if they so wish. Once an appeal has been made the trial procedure laid out in the [[Court-Martial#Trial Procedure| Uniform Code of Military Justice]] Court Martial section must be followed. |

− | Between 1802 and 1849 the Judge Advocate position was suspended, but since reinstatement, the JAG Corps has continually grown in size and in the scope of its expertise and support. Arguably, the most fundamental achievement of the modern JAG Corps is the creation of the [[uniform military code of justice|Uniform Military Code of Justice]] (UCMJ, 1951), which applies one consistent code of conduct across the entire U.S. military while providing important judicial safeguards, it served has a basis for the creation of the [[uniform military code of justice|Uniform Military Code of Justice]] used by [[Right to Rebel]] Division.
