Judge Advocate General's Corps, also known as JAG, can refer to the judicial arm of any of the United States Armed Forces, consisting of autonomous departments in the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy. They are charged with the defense and prosecution of military law as provided in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Officers of the Corps are the chief officers of the court-martial and court of inquiry. The Corps also provides service members with a wide range of legal services free of charge, and supports military combat operations by advising commanders on the law of armed conflict. Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force officers maintain their "line officer" status, while Army and Navy officers only serve in legal billets.
