  • 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.
