U.S. Navy Office of the Judge Advocate General

The U.S. Navy Office of the Judge Advocate General (OJAG), founded in 1880 by Act of Congress, is a U.S. government military legal office headquartered in Washington, D.C. It provides legal advice, administers military justice, handles courts-martial, contracts, international law, and administrative matters for the Navy and Marine Corps. Key developments include the 1967 establishment of the Judge Advocate General's Corps for professional lawyers, creation of the Naval Justice School in 1946, and mergers into Region Legal Service Offices in 2005. Notable achievements encompass war crimes oversight in 1945 and evolution into a structured organization with divisions by 1922. Currently active, it supports naval operations through specialized ratings like Legalman (1972). No direct involvement found in UAP/UFO research or related government programs.
