In today's fast-paced world of overseas contingency and domestic
operations, commanders rely on the advice of JAG Corps personnel to
make critical decisions, sometimes involving life and death. Demand
for this advice is high and will likely increase. The complexity of
the operational environment is also growing. We can be sure that
technological advances on the 21st Century battlefield will take us
into uncharted legal territory, where we will be expected to
analyze the complexities and provide accurate advice faster than
ever before. Our ability to do so will have a direct impact on
America's capacity to effectively project power across the spectrum
of conflict. Commanders count on legal teams knowledgeable in
subjects ranging from weapon selection and target engagement to
nation building and counterinsurgency activities. That's why the
second edition of the Air Force Operations & the Law: a Guide
for Air & Space Forces is so important.
Today's Air Force commanders face a wide-range of issues, many of
which involve complex statutes, laws, regulations, and rules. Our
commanders must deal with challenging legal matters ranging from
military justice to environmental law to operations law. To assist
commanders with these formidable tasks, we've created this helpful
volume, The Military Commander and the Law. This deskbook contains
a series of papers that give commanders a head start on the wide
array of issues they will handle. Each article is intended to give
a commander the basics in the law on any given subject. The papers
are not intended to make the commander a legal expert or to resolve
specific questions relating to any unique problem. Lance W. Lord
Lieutenant General, United States Air Force Commander, Air
