Commandant's Annual Report, 1964-1965 COMMANDANT'S ANNUAL REPORT 1964 - 1965 The Judge Advocate General's School United States Army Charlottesville, Virginia "This Association [ABA] . has been interested in the [Judge Advocate General's] School since its inception. It has made a notable contribution to the high quality of personnel in the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps." LEWIS F. POWELL, JR. President A merican Bar Association "I hope you 'will be able to bring to the attention of the legal pro­ fession more generally the very fine job which the [Judge Advocate General's] School is doing in training and scholarship in the broad and complex field of military law. It would seem to me that our country very badly needs much more of the kind of work which you have so effectively begun." MYRES S. McDOUGAL Sterling Professor of Law Yale University Law School "I take this opportunity of thanking you and your staff for making the stay of Major Bostan Khan and Major Hasan most enjoyable and fruitful ... _ Both of them speak very high[ly] of all that they saw in your School and 1 am sure that others who follow would equally benefit from their visit ... _ " . .. 1 will most certainly make an attempt to VlSlt your famous School and acquaint myself with the activities there. Needless to say that we are very happy over this link between this office and your School." A. A. KAZI Brigadier Judge Advocate General Pakistani Army 1 FOREWORD This Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 1965 is my first as Commandant. As in the case of the past three issues, this report summarizes the operations of the School; provides a printed record of the School and its personnel; and describes the courses of in­ struction. However, equally important, the Annual Report, by its prepara­ tion, requires the staff and faculty to review the past year; to evaluate and revise the courses and projects presented; to consider the implementation of new instruction and services which would aid the judge advocate. By distribution of this report, it is hoped that it will stimulate interest in the School and will stimulate those already interested to suggest changes so that the School will better serve the Corps. The scope of the instruction and projects undertaken by the School have continuously broadened. The level of instruction and the planning and presentation of projects have been increasingly strengthened. However, we at the School realize there is, and always will be, a place for criticism and improvement. We ask for your assistance. ~~ ~ - JOHN W. BURTCHAELL Colonel, JA GC Commandant 346279 !!

BURTCHAELL C0777111!1ndant, The Judge Advocote Celltra!"s School HISTORY OF THE JUDCE ADVOCATE GENERAL'S SCHOOL Although judge advocates have served the United States Army since 1775, no effort was made to provide them with formal training in military law until the opening days of World "Var II. In preceding years, newly appointed judge advocates were trained empirically, but the Army's swift expansion soon emphasized the need for in­ structing attorneys entering the Corps in the manifold aspects of their new specialty. In February 1942, as the uniformed lawyer's burden increased in complexity, specialized and refresher training courses for active duty personnel were commenced at the National University Law School, Washington, D. C. In August 1942, operations were trans­ ferred to The Judge Advocate General's School, physically located at the University of Michigan Law School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and commanded by Colonel Edward H. Young, JAGC. In the following months, hundreds of officers were trained at Ann Arbor. Indeed, by June 1944 over two-thirds of the active duty strength of the Judge Advocate General's Corps were graduates of the School. The end of the war, however, substantially reduced the need for trained military lawyers, and in 1946 the School, which had been initiated only on a temporary basis, was discontinued. Nevertheless, plans were soon being devised in the Office of the Judge Advocate General to implement the recommendation of a committee, appointed in 1946 to study the administration of military justice, that provision

The Village Voice also refused to run this essay. It was first published in Black Dialogue. LeRoi Jones / Amiri Baraka, 1965 LeRoi Jones The Revolutionary Theatre should force change, it should be change. (All their faces turned into the lights and you work on them black nigger magic, and cleanse them at having seen the ugliness and if the beautiful see themselves, they will love themselves.) We are preach- ing virtue again, but by that to mean NOW, what seems the most constructive use of the word. The Revolutionary Theatre must EXPOSE! Show up the insides of these humans, look into black skulls. White men will cower before this theatre because it hates them. Because they have been trained to hate. The Revolutionary Theatre must hate them for hating. For presuming with their technology to deny the supremacy of the Spirit. They will all die because of this. The Revolutionary Theatre must teach them their deaths. It must crack their faces open to the mad cries of the poor. It must teach them about silence and the truths lodged there. It must kill any God anyone names except Common Sense. The Revolutionary Theatre should flush the fags and murders out of Lincoln’s face. It should stagger through our universe correcting, insulting, preaching, spitting craziness .

Have students follow along as you lecture on background to Vietnam War: • French colonialism in Vietnam: 1800s-1941. • Japan took over Vietnam during WWII, but when Japan was defeated in 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence. • But French came back in and tried to take over again; U.S. supported French. The French lost in 1954. • 1954: Geneva Convention split the country into North and South, with the idea that there would be free elections in the near future. • (U.S. DID NOT sign Geneva Accords, for fear that Communists would win the general elections). • U.S. supported South Vietnam leader, Diem. But Diem turned out to be oppressive and unpopular. He canceled elections, repressed Buddhists; caused major discontent in South Vietnam. • U.S. feared that Diem’s unpopularity will push more South Vietnamese to support Communists. So they supported a coup and Diem was overthrown and assassinated—Nov. 1, 1963. • JFK assassinated only weeks later. LBJ inherited the problem in Vietnam. • Under new weak South Vietnam government, support for Communism grew; North Vietnam smuggled weapons into South Vietnam to support Communist insurgents through a network of trails through Laos and Cambodia (Ho Chi Minh trails). • Aug.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
