Judge Advocate General Program
The Judge Advocate General of the United States Army, Lt. Gen. Stuart W. Risch, visited Puerto Rico on Feb. 8 as part of his ongoing efforts to spread awareness about the Judge Advocate General program. The Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps) is a different kind of law firm. Since its founding in 1775, the JAG Corps has retained its original mission to represent the legal interests of Soldiers and the U.S. Army with unmatched strength and courage, character and commitment, and unsurpassed knowledge of the law. Army Reserve Judge Advocates are initially assigned to a Troop Program Unit (TPU) located near their home. A typical year in a TPU includes training one weekend a month and 15 days of continuous annual training. Army Reserve Judge Advocates earn pay and accumulate points toward Army Reserve retirement benefits.
