On March 9, 2020, the Army JAG Corps officially welcomed 63 new lawyers into our dynamic practice of law at the Direct Commission Course(DCC) at Fort Benning, GA. The Judge Advocate General, Lieutenant General Charles Pede, had the privilege of administering the oath to the next generation of dual professional Judge Advocates (JAs)—Army leaders and attorneys. Hailing from over 40 law schools, these officers join one of our nation’s oldest, largest, and most consequential practices of law, adding to a rich history founded by General George Washington in 1775. Our newest JAs, proudly represent the Regular Army (30 JAs), the Army Reserve (16 JAs), and National Guard units from several states (17 JAs). They will spend the next six weeks at Fort Benning learning the fundamentals of leadership and soldiering, followed by ten weeks in Charlottesville, VA honing their skills as Army attorneys. They join a team of dedicated professionals and will have significant legal responsibilities from the moment they finish training. Welcome to the JAG Corps. We are proud to serve with you!
