OC 2OllO-2200 ATTLNTION OF DAJA-CL 1988/5223(27-1a) MEMORANDUM FOR: STAFF JUDGE ADVOCATES AND SENIOR ATTORNEY SUFERVISORS SUBJECT: Participation in Civic Organizations - Policy Memorandum 88-5 1. Civic organizations pffer opportunities for military participants to enhance relationships between installations and civilian communities. Many civic organizations.directly affect or indirectly influence the legal rights and obligations of soldiers, and provide a wealth of opportunity for military attorneys to further the interests of commands and soldiers. We must recognize the potential value>ofclose ties with local civic groups, and we must take advantage of opportunities. 2. Military attorneys should avail themselves of these opportunities to foster good relations. Active participation in or close association with local bar associations and other civic groups will provide avenues for furthering cooperation and mutual understanding. For an excellent illustration of how we can become involved, see "The Virginia Military Advisory F Commission - A Unique Forum for Improved Relations Between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Armed Forces," by Colonel M. Scott Magers and Lieutenant Colonel Philip F. Koren in The Army Lawyer,. September 1987. 3. Other attorneys of the installation legal office and 'attorneys working in tenant units should also be encouraged to participate actively in civic organizations. To this end, installation Staff Judge Advocates and supervising attorneys should establish programs which encourage attorneys to get involved in civic organizations and projects. 4. The benefits of involvement are not limited to installations within the United States. Although membership and participation in civic organizations is limited overseas, we should make every effort to maintain liaison and good relations with host nation organizations. Informal lines of communication between the legal office and the host nation legal community, for example, coi.il.=l be a valuable aid in performing the Army's legal mission overseas. HUGH R.
