Who should read this publication
JDP 3-46 is aimed at commanders and lawyers at the joint operational level, but has relevance to those working at lower levels, in single-Service environments, in other government departments or in non-governmental contexts.
It is also directly relevant to commanders and lawyers outside of the joint environment and those below the operational level, for example, those involved in Defence engagement.
