The Military Commander and the Law

[2], vii, [3], 578, [2] p.; 25 cm. References. Index. From Wikipedia: "The United States Air Force became a separate military service in September 1947. On 25 June 1948, the Congress established an office of The Judge Advocate General (TJAG) in the United States Air Force. The department became a separate entity reporting to the Air Force Chief of Staff in February 1950. In 2003, the Judge Advocate General's Department was renamed to the Judge Advocate General's Corps. On 23 July 2008, General Rives was confirmed as a Lieutenant General, becoming the first TJAG to hold that rank. The Air Force Judge Advocate General's School was founded in 1950 and has been at Maxwell Air Force Base since 1993. The school provides instruction to judge advocates and paralegals. The School publishes legal journals. The School also produces The Military Commander and the Law, a publication that is invaluable not only to judge advocates, but commanders and sergeants in handling legal issues and for the continued enforcement of good order and discipline.".
