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.[2]
