SFJAG HQ is based on SB Alpha, with shoreside facilities in the San Francisco and Marseille, France campuses. Furthermore, each capital Starbase is assigned a Divisional Starbase Officer (DSO), typically a Captain, who along with their staff execute the SFUCMJ for all Star Fleet units attached to that Star Base.

In situations involving officers, the board of inquiry is charged with determining whether alleged misconduct or substandard performance occurred and whether the circumstances justify separation from the service. The board will consist of senior officers and is typically convened after an incident occurs that damages the reputation of the officer or the branch. | In situations involving officers, the board of inquiry is charged with determining whether alleged misconduct or substandard performance occurred and whether the circumstances justify separation from the service.

<h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold; border-bottom-style: none; border-style: none;">Can anyone become a SFJAG officer?</h2> | |||
Yes, but the competition for billets can be quite competitive. SFJAG officers are attorneys who have passed the UFP Bar Association exam (or recognized equivalent on a Federation Member world) and received a commission in Star Fleet or the SF Marine Corps via various methods. | |||
<br> | |||
We are a Joint Component Command of Star Fleet. The SFJAG Corps represents, and has jurisdiction over all Star Fleet and SF Marine Corps units. Likewise, our teams are comprised of dedicated officers, warrant officers and enlisted personnel from both services. There are other potential career paths available for non-attorneys as well! See “[[TBD|How to join the SFJAG Corps]]” for more details, then contact your local Star Fleet Recruiter! | |||

No, not quite. | |||
* A SFJAG officer is a commissioned officer from either branch and also a practicing attorney per the UFP Bar Association. | |||
* A Legal Services Officer administers legal services in military law, provides administrative and technical assistance in courts martial, investigations, administrative boards and personal affairs. | |||
* A Legal Services Specialist is an Enlisted Rating for professionals who work under the supervision of attorneys. They provide paralegal support to JAG Officers in all aspects of military law and policy administration. | |||
<h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold; border-bottom-style: none; border-style: none;">Are SFJAG officers line or staff designated? </h2> | |||
Neither actually. SFJAG officers are designated Limited Duty Officers (LDO). The term "limited duty" refers not to an LDO's authority, but rather the LDO's career progression and restrictions. In general, they may succeed to command activities which have a primary function corresponding to their Star Fleet officer designator or SF Marine Corps MOS. In this sense, LDO’s are in the middle between Line and Staff officers, not unlike their Warrant Officer brethren who serve in technical roles above Enlisted grades and below the commissioned Officer corps. | |||
