The Commander’s Re­sponsibility to Practice Preventive Law

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

-- Benjamin Franklin

                        BE PROACTIVE, NOT JUST REACTIVE

 This Handbook is designed to assist you in taking proper immediate action when faced with a variety of legal issues that might arise during your command.  The purpose of your actions should be to preserve the legal situation until you can consult with your servicing Judge Advocate.  However, like most aspects of your command responsibilities, you can fail if you just wait for things to come to you.  You need to be proactive in preventing problems before they occur.

In the legal arena, this means establishing and enforcing high standards, ensuring your Soldiers are fully aware of those standards and properly trained to comply with them.  You must also properly train your Soldiers on all Army policies and higher level command standards so that they also un­derstand and comply with them.  Soldiers must also be well-versed in the Army Values and be able to apply those values to real-world situations, which will usually keep them well within legal bounds.

In legal circles, we call this effort to prevent legal problems before they arise by properly training Soldiers, “preventive law.”  The responsibility to practice preventive law belongs to the Commander.
