Author Description

This important and up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a set of vital Judge Advocate General (JAG) military justice documents, including the 2010 Domestic Operational Law Handbook for Judge Advocates, A Practitioner's Guide. The Domestic Operational Law (DOPLAW) Handbook for Judge Advocates is a product of the Center for Law and Military Operations (CLAMO). First published in April of 2001, it was the first of its kind. Designed as a resource for operational lawyers involved in domestic support operations, its publication was indeed timely. After the events of September 11, 2001, and more recently, Hurricanes Katrina in 2005 and Ike in 2008, the Handbook continued to meet a growing need for an understanding of the legal issues inherent in such operations. As with the original publication of the Handbook, this update would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of countless active, reserve, and National Guard judge advocates who participate in these unique operations on an ongoing basis. The contents of this Handbook are based on statutes, Executive Orders and Directives, national policy, DoD Directives, joint publications, service regulations and field manuals, and lessons learned by judge advocates. Contents coverage: Domestic Support Operations, National Framework for Incident Management, HSPD, Executive Orders, National Response Framework (NRF), Stafford Act, DoD Response for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) consequence management, Military support to civilian law enforcement, civil disturbance operations, counterdrug operations, military support to special events, intelligence oversight and information handling, reserve components, civil air patrol, Coast Guard, Rules for the use of Force for Federal Forces and National Guard, Funding Domestic Support Operations, and more. The CD-ROM is packed with over 4,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows
