About this listen

 The Battlefield Next network of podcasts is created and hosted by the US Army JAG Corps’ Future Concepts Directorate (FCD). Our flagship podcast, ‘Battlefield Next,’ examines the application of the law to future of armed conflict. ‘Fred Talks,’ presents a more informal look at the history of the JAG Corps in an effort to guide future military legal practitioners.  


The Future Concepts Directorate is the JAG Corps’ think tank, and one of four directorates that make up the Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center. Located on the campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, FCD is the subject-matter expert on the application of the law to future conflict. FCD also reviews Army doctrine on behalf of the JAG Corps, and provides the intellectual foundation and disciplined approach to design, develop, and field a JAG Corps that is ready to support the future warfighter.
