Welcome to the National Security Law Division (NSLD)

Our Mission is to provide legal advice to Secretary of the Army (SA), Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA), and Army Staff (ARSTAF) on all international law issues; legal issues affecting military operations; the law of war; intelligence activities and information operations; and stability operations and rule of law.
 
Additionally, we are the primary action agent for TJAG’s support to the CSA in his role as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the primary action agent for TJAG’s international activities plan.  We also supervise the Army Operations Center (AOC)/Crisis Action Team (CAT).


I invite you to participate in our community of practice and visit our document library!
