Commandant's Annual Report, 1961-1962 COMMANDANT'S ANNUAL REPORT 1961 ... 1962 The Judge Advocate General's School United States Army Charlottesville, Virginia FOREWORD It is with great pleasure and much satisfaction that I present the Commandant's Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1962. Al­ though this represents the first report of this type published by The Judge Advocate General's School, it is intended that it become an integral feature in chronicling the continuing development of the Army's military law center. The report has a three-fold purpose: --- 1. To summarize the operations of the School during the past fiscal year. ---------2. To preserve in printed form a record of the School, its staff and faculty, students, and enlisted personnel. ~ To describe the various courses of instruction offered at - The Judge Advocate General's School. ThiE report reflects continued progress on the part of The Judge Advocate General's School. The value of any educational institution, however, is measured by how well it prepares its student body for the roles which await them upon graduation. Accordingly, our goal, as in the past, is to increase and make more effective our services to the Army by thorough preparation of officers for service in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. JOHN F.

Not merely a lawyer, he re­ eeives intensive training on a graduate law school level in many aspects of military law before he begins his military law prac­ tice. Training the modern Army lawyer is the function of The Judge Advocate General's School, located at Charlottesville, Virginia. The Judge Advocate General's School, located on the Grounds of the University of Virginia opposite the Law School, is the Army's military law center. It is an approved law school rated by the American Bar Association inspectors as offering the highest quality specialized graduate program in law to be found in America, and provides a graduate law school atmosphere where the modern Army lawyer is professionally trained in the many aspects of military law. The School's function is to orient the Army lawyer in the fundamentals of military law, to keep his training current, and to give him specialized legal training on an advanced level. As a military law center, it attaches considerable importance to its research and publica­ tions, including texts and case books, as wen as several legal periodicals. The Judge Advocate General's School operates on a year­ round basis. Over 6,000 students have graduated from courses offered at the School in its 11 years of operation; during Fiscal Y.ear 1962, 803 students were graduated from courses offered at the School. Classes are held in the University of Virginia Law School, where many of the JAG School faculty maintain their offices. There, in the Law School, the JAG students can avail themselves of the largest law library in the South. All newly commissioned officers in the Judge Advocate Gen­ eral's Corps receive an introductory course at the JAG School. This 10-weeks' course is designed to train these newly commis­ sioned lawyers in the fundamentals of military law and prepare them to advise the commander and his staff on legal problems, to perform the duties of trial and defens'e counsel before general courts-martial, to review reports of investigations and cases tried before summary and special courts-martial, and to give legal assistance to servicemen. The cours-e includes instruction on military justice, military administrative law, claims, procurement law, military science, civil and international law, and staff judge advocate operations. 1 Two such courses are held each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. i:f' These students come from all over the United States, and even J;I from allied nations. They bring to their classes their varied ,I' experiences as citizens and lawyers, and the training of many i different law schools. Upon their graduation, they are assigned 1 to military posts throughout the United States, to such places ! as San Francisco, Chicago, San Antonio, New York City, Wash­ \. ington, and to nations in such foreign countries as France, 'I 1 Korea, Iran, and Ethiopia. \~ Outstanding career military lawyers return to the JAG School for a 34-week course in military law. This course is similar to the law schools' masters programs. The student is thoroughly immersed in the many subjects of import to the military: legal history, jurisprudence, admiralty, military justice, military ad­ ministrative law, procurement law, international law, compara­ tive law, claims, civil affairs, legal assistance, military reserva­ tions, military training, and counterinsurgency. In addition, each career class student is required to present a thesis on a significant problem area in military law. These students also participate in a logistical field exercise with career course stu­ dents from other service schools. The School also conducts several 1-3 week courses for judge advocates and for civilian attorneys employed by the armed services and federal government whose work lies within a specialty. Military justice, procurement law, contract termi­ nation, international law, civil affairs law, civil law, and mili­ tary affairs are among those courses offered. Reservists not on active duty may also attend a two-week refresher course in the summer, which course emphasizes current trends and developments. For persons not in residence, a number of legal training pro­ grams are offered by the School. Judge advocates in the field continue their military legal training by taking extension

RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON ~ H^^ K n^ 7 novembre 1966 TARIFFS AND TRADE "'"^Limited Distribution TARIFF INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE SECRETARIAT -, The secretariat receives, in the course of ixs normal work, numerous requests for information relative to existing tariff rates for particular products in ; different countries > Lately the volume of inquiries has grown very considerably as a result of the information facilities put at the disposal of the developing countries in general through the International Trade Centre. The Kennedy Round has further made it necessary to have, at the disposal of the delegates, up-to- date data on tariff rates of participating countries. Unfortunately, the secretariat is not always kept informed by the contracting parties of changes in these matters. In relation to this, attention is drawn to the provision of Article X of the General Agreement. Annexed to this paper is a list of tariffs and their latest modifications available in the secretariat. The information, as noted there, is drawn mainly from thre2 sources : national editions of the customs tariffs, the publications of the International Customs Tariff Bureau in Brussels and the Deutches Handels-Archiv. Contracting parties are requested to submit to the secretariat, as soon_as possible, any information relating to their tariff which is not, at_present, available in the secretariat. -.

    MIPB April - June 2009 PB 34-O9-2 Operations in OEF Afghanistan FROM THE EDITOR In this issue, three articles offer perspectives on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Nenchek dis- cusses the philosophy of the evolving insurgent “syndicates,” who are working together to resist the changes and ideas the Coalition Forces bring to Afghanistan. Captain Beall relates his experiences in employing Human Intelligence Collection Teams at the company level in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant Colonel Lawson provides a look into the balancing act U.S. Army chaplains as non-com- batants in Afghanistan are involved in with regards to Information Operations. Colonel Reyes discusses his experiences as the MNF-I C2 CIOC Chief, detailing the problems and solutions to streamlining the intelligence effort. First Lieutenant Winwood relates her experiences in integrating intelligence support into psychological operations. From a doctrinal standpoint, Lieutenant Colonels McDonough and Conway review the evolution of priority intelligence requirements from a combined operations/intelligence view. Mr. Jack Kem dis- cusses the constructs of assessment during operations–measures of effectiveness and measures of per- formance, common discussion threads in several articles in this issue. George Van Otten sheds light on a little known issue on our southern border, that of the illegal im- migration and smuggling activities which use the Tohono O’odham Reservation as a corridor and offers some solutions for combined agency involvement and training to stem the flow. Included in this issue is nomination information for the CSM Doug Russell Award as well as a biogra- phy of the 2009 winner.

Note: the original version of this essay, entitled “17 octobre 1961 - 17 octobre 2001: Une commémoration ambiguë” is being published in the spring 2002 issue of the journal French Politics, Culture, and Society. France and the Memory of the Algerian war: The Ambiguous Commemoration of October 17, 1961. (Translations from the original French text are mine) On May 9, 2001, the French daily Libération published the results of an opinion poll on “torture during the French-Algerian war.” In this poll, 56% of those questioned declared being favorable to an official apology to the Algerian people from the French President or Prime minister. To the question: “according to you, who are the main parties responsible for the use of torture during the French-Algerian war?” 50% of the French placed the blame on the political authorities at the time, while 31% placed the blame on the military. In addition, 56% wanted to see the officers who had used torture brought to justice. (This poll followed the publication in May 2001 of a book by General Aussaresses condoning the use of torture during the war). According to this poll, a majority of the French population seems ready to face the painful memories of the French-Algerian war, and is not afraid to engage the responsibility of the French state in the crimes that took place at the time.

  • Fort Jackson (1808 – 1861)
    General History of Fort Jackson To understand the history of Fort Jackson, we must realize that the land surrounding the fort today is far different from what it was when European first saw the Savannah River. The river flowed through many marshy fields resembling a flat plain. The appearance of the area caused the founder of Georgia, General James Edward Oglethorpe, to name the river and town “Savannah,” meaning a treeless plain or relatively flat, open region. When early Indians built large ceremonial mounds near the river, they could not find dry land to build on closer than a mile from the river. One set of these mounds was located about 1600 yards southwest of the future site of Fort Jackson. No doubt General Oglethorpe noticed these mounds as he searched for high ground for his settlement in 1733. As the river flowed around present-day Hutchinson’s Island, the two channels rejoined north of a small clay island which rose just a few feet above the water at high tide. The convergence of these channels created a deepening to about 30 feet, more than ten feet deeper than normal. This part of the river became known as Five Fathom Hole. A few years later, an illiterate brick mason named Thomas Salter chose a site for a brickyard three miles east of the city on the south bank of the Savannah River where he hoped to earn a good living making bricks for housing foundations. The spot he chose was actually the small clay island. The brick-making trade was one of intense hand labor and has not changed in hundreds of years.
