Can anyone point me to the current/active version of FM 27-14 Legal Guide for Soldiers?

2020-04-15T10:16:34-04:00

Per Army Pubs that document is inactive since 2008. When I follow the rescinded/supersede trail, I end up at AR 25-30, which has nothing to do with legal rights. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If everything you're finding online isn't current/valid, go to your JAG office and ask them for the most current version

I just put it into Google and came up with a copy dated 1991 in pdf form.
Let me know if you need help getting it.

Studying to take the barracks lawyer bar exam?

Kidding. You may have to see if you're local JAG might have the most recent

SPC Private RallyPoint Member Ok, a few days ago you were the Barracks Softdrink Mogel. What in the wide world of sports are you trying to do? Use TDS if you are in trouble.

Did you also know that you can google TDS info papers depending on what issue it is. There is no way this will go well with a DIY.

PS: it's FM27-14 and it too is inactive

Don’t run a business out of the barracks and solicit money from soldiers and you won’t be in trouble

LTC Jason Mackay Sir, I'm a holdover do to covid-19 restrictions, essentially stuck in limbo for an unknown amount of time. Instead of sleeping during the duty day, playing video games, or complaining about being stuck here away from my wife, I'm trying to make the most of it, with online training, regulation research, and pt.

Additionally Sir,
As they saying goes: If we believe everything we are told, then like sheep to the slaughter we blindly go. Thus the importance of Trust but verify.

The AR 25-30 is the authority for all publication, which is why it is referenced. Misc Pub 27-8 is the Commander's Legal Handbook, and AR 27-3 covers the Army Legal Assistance Program (current version expires 26 Apr 2020 when the new version becomes effective), and FM 1-04 covers Legal Support to the Operational Army. I guess the real question is what are you trying to research or question you need answered. If it is a research question, then posting on RP or like sites for the JAG members to comment. If you have a real world legal question I strongly encourage you to look at the references above and consult with someone in JAG.
