Military and Veterans Affairs Committee

The Military and Veterans Affairs Committee addresses legal and policy issues affecting the United States armed services and the operation of the Court of Military Justice. The Committee also awards medals to the top graduate in the JAG programs of the service academies and the law program at West Point. The Committee’s activities in recent years have included co-authoring reports and letters on such subjects as human rights standards applicable to the United States’ interrogation of detainees, repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” and voting rights for service members; sending representatives to observe the military tribunal proceedings in Guantanamo; and hosting discussions with judges from the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces and with fellows from the Council on Foreign Affairs.
