Military Justice Leadership and Independence Act establishes ranks for Judge Advocates General.

The Military Justice Leadership and Independence Act amends title 10, United States Code, to establish specific ranks for Judge Advocates General. It mandates that the Judge Advocate General holds the grade of lieutenant general. For the Army, if a Deputy Judge Advocate General holds a lower regular grade, they must be appointed in the regular grade of major general. For the Navy, the Judge Advocate General must hold the grade of vice admiral or lieutenant general, as appropriate.
