USN/USMC Commander's Quick Reference Legal Handbook.

摘要

This reference, like all reference material, is meant as a guide and is not, by itself, authoritative legal or regulatory information. Statutes and service regulations always supersede contradictory guidance that may be contained in this reference. The legal and procedural information contained in this guide are current as of the date of distribution to the recipient. However, given the large volume of information contained in this reference, portions of this guide are subject to change on a regular basis, sometimes with little notice or time for revision. Therefore, Naval Justice School advises the reader that some of the information in this publication may become out of date or superseded by more recent guidance, including more recent publication of this reference. Under all circumstances, commanders whether utilizing this guide or not are strongly urged to contact a judge advocate to seek personal guidance in handling all legal issues that may arise in execution of command responsibilities. While this guide serves as a useful tool to spot and develop solutions for legal issues, it is not a substitute for the informed advice of a judge advocate.
