PART 727_LEGAL ASSISTANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 727.5  Persons eligible for assistance.

    Legal assistance shall be available to members of the Armed Forces 
of the United States and their dependents, and military personnel of 
allied nations serving in the United States, its territories or 
possessions. Legal assistance is intended primarily for the benefit of 
active duty personnel during active service, including reservists (and 
members of the National Guard) on active duty for 30 days or more. As 
resources permit, legal assistance may be extended to retired military 
personnel, their dependents, survivors of members of the Armed Forces 
who would be eligible were the service member alive, reservists on 
active duty for single periods of 29 days or less, members of Reserve 
Components following release from active duty under a call or order to 
active duty for more than 30 days issued under a mobilization authority 
(as determined by the Secretary of Defense), for a period of time that 
begins on the date of the release and is not less than twice the length 
of the period served on active duty under that call or order to active 
duty, and in overseas areas, civilians, other than local-hire employees, 
who are in the employ of, serving with, or accompanying the U.S. Armed 
Forces, and their dependents, when and if the workload of the office 
renders such service feasible, and other persons authorized by the Judge 
Advocate General of the Navy.
