First Memorandum to Congress: Guardrails on Employment of Military Judge Advocates

  • Jul 17, 2025
  • 1 min read

Summary: This memo raises two initial concerns following the removal of the Army and Air Force Judge Advocates General: (1) whether the new Army TJAG's continued service in an elected office violates Department of Defense regulations, and (2) whether using National Guard judge advocates as immigration judges is appropriate under the Posse Comitatus Act. It recommends strengthening TJAG independence, conducting congressional oversight, and reviewing domestic military deployments for potential legal violations.
