The Commander's Role in the Military Justice System ABSTRACT STRIKING THE BALANCE BETWEEN DISCIPLINE AND JUSTICE: THE COMMANDER’S ROLE IN THE MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM AND ITS IMPACT ON THE MILITARY PROFESSION, by Major Jennifer L. Venghaus. As military leaders renew their commitment to the military profession, debate over sexual assault and senior leader misconduct has caused several members of Congress to propose legislation that would remove commanders from the military justice process. Since enforcement of an ethical code through self-regulation is one critical characteristic of professions, any change to the military’s mechanism for self-regulation could affect the military’s status as a profession. This thesis analyzes the impact that the proposed legislation would have on the United States military’s status as a profession. By comparing the history of the United States military as a profession and the history of the military justice system in the United States, this thesis establishes that the evolution of the United States military profession corresponded to the evolution of the military justice system. What started as a system of discipline became a balance between justice and discipline as the system became more fair and equitable for the professional army. To retain the elements of a system of discipline, commanders must remain involved in the process. Maintaining this balance is critical to retaining the trust of American people that is necessary for American society to continue recognizing the military as a profession.

  • Law Enforcement Resource Guide
    Law Enforcement Resource Guide Provided by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Director’s Message Foreward Table of Contents Introduction Federal Resources for Law Enforcement Military Resources National Guard Aviation Resources Unique Resources Clearinghouses Acquisition of Resources Law Enforcement Professional Organization Resources Law Enforcement and Crime Resources Law Enforcement Resource Guide Provided by Federal Law Enforcement Training Center DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The Office of State and Local Training was established on October 14th, 1982 as part of an anti-crime program. The creation of the Office of State and Local Training was based on the realization that while primary responsibility for law enforcement rests now, as it always has, with state and local governments, there are roles for the federal government to play. The sharing of that expertise and other resources is an important step in promoting closer cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The programs and special initiatives of the Office of State and Local have been developed and delivered with the contributions and support of federal, state, local and private agencies and individuals. Presently, nearly 40 advanced and specialized law enforcement training programs are offered on a regular basis at Glynco and other export sites throughout the United States. Research conducted by the Office of State and Local and their partner organizations indicated small agencies have a greater need for assistance than larger agencies, due to their shortage of funds, resources, and equipment. Further, these agencies seldom are able to pay for memberships in professional law enforcement associations; subscribe to professional law enforcement magazines, newsletters, and other publications; or attend law enforcement conferences.
