Naval Legal Service Command

The Naval Legal Service Command (NLSC) is an Echelon 2 command of the United States Navy. The NLSC stated mission is to provide a legal service to the worldwide components of the Fleet.

Within NLSC, Region Legal Service Offices, Defense Service Offices, and the Victims’ Legal Counsel Program deliver a range of assistance -- such as legal advice, Fleet services, and military justice support – in their respective areas of responsibility. They also perform other functions and tasks requested or directed by a competent authority.

The command was led by the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Navy until 2021, when the offices were separated. Rear Adm. David G. Wilson became the first-ever independent commander of NLSC; he reports to the Chief of Naval Operations.
