Judge Advocate Staff Officers Course (JATSOC) Staff Skills Training for the Contemporary Operational Environment

摘要

The Commander of The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS), on behalf of The Judge Advocate General (TJAG), announced at the October 2006 World Wide Continuing Legal Education (WWCLE) Conference, that Active Army and Reserve Component company grade Judge Advocates (JAs) would receive Distributed Learning (DL) staff officer training to replace the Combined Arms and Services Staff School (CAS3) course. In the fall of 2007, the Training Developments Directorate (TDD) at TJAGLCS will launch the Judge Advocate Tactical Staff Officer Course (JATSOC), an online DL course that will serve as the replacement for CAS3. This Note will review the historical underpinnings of Army company grade staff officer training and then provide a detailed explanation of JATSOC.
