Upon acceptance into the JAG Corps , your continued education begins immediately. Future JAG Corps Attorneys attend the 14-week JAG Corps Officer Basic Course (OBC). The course is divided into two phases: a four-week Military Orientation Phase at Fort Lee, VA, and a 10-week Military Law Phase taught at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center School, U.S. Army (The JAG Corps School) in Charlottesville, VA. The JAG Corps School is the only ABA-approved law school in all of the military services.
Military Orientation Phase – Fort Lee, VA
Instead of going through basic training, JAG Corps Attorneys attend a Military Orientation Phase that provides an overview of Officer responsibilities and basic Soldiering skills. Training includes physical fitness, weapons familiarization and deployment skills. A field training exercise gives candidates the opportunity to employ their new skills in the field.
