It covers AF/JAI and TJAG Article 6 inspections, including inspected organizations, notification, access to records, logistics, grading, reports, preparation, and inspection events. It establishes inspection objectives and identifies requirements for legal offices and inspection activities.
While the primary purpose of Article 6 Inspections is to ensure the Air Force military justice system is administered properly, supports good order, morale, and discipline, and operates free from unlawful command influence, Article 6 Inspections serve a concurrent purpose of allowing TJAG to ensure judge advocates are consistently providing high quality legal services to commanders, personnel, and organizations throughout the Air Force, in accordance with his or her directions.
Article 6 Inspections are neither part of nor integrated into any other official inspection.
In fulfilling this statutory responsibility, TJAG may personally perform an Article 6 Inspection or he or she may appoint the Deputy Judge Advocate General (DJAG) or another senior leader within the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps to perform the inspection on his or her behalf.
Ensure all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained in accordance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 33-363, Management of Records, and disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule located in the Air Force Records Information Management System.
