Are navy jag corps officers required to perform duty in combat or at sea?

Navy JAG Corps officers have the opportunity to serve at sea with the operating forces of the Navy. Positions for men and women interested in sea duty are available aboard aircraft carriers, tenders and with afloat staffs embarked on Navy vessels. Wherever assigned, JAG Corps officers perform legal or administrative duties as legal counsel.

In the event that armed conflict should occur you might find yourself in a combat zone or on a combatant ship. Although your primary duties will be legal in nature, like all members of ships crew, JAG Corps officers participate in the ships damage control organization and have the opportunity to participate in ship control functions. More senior judge advocates (lieutenant commanders, commanders and captains) are frequently involved in combat mission training, mission planning, and mission execution.

None of the sea-duty billets, however, are available to officers as a first tour of duty with the Navy JAG Corps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
