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. FM 3-84 replaces FM 1-04, and it includes several substantive changes. The JALS includes all personnel under the qualifying authority of The Judge Advocate General (TJAG), including uniformed lawyers, legal administrators, and paralegals, as well as civilian attorneys, paralegals, legal administrators, and paraprofessionals.
