SCOTT D. DELIUS HAS a mission. Delius put his law practice on hold last October to go to Afghanistan with the Army National Guard, which is part of the NATO coalition training the Afghan National Army.
After a month’s training in Mississippi, Delius arrived in Kabul in late November, where he is the Judge Advocate General officer attached to the Kabul Military Training Center. It is the country’s largest base, he said in a telephone interview, with about 8,000 new recruits being trained at any one time. He is working with the base’s top Afghan legal officer, Col. Khaliq, to establish a military justice system there. He also advises Khaliq and the U.S. base commander on any legal issues that come up and helps U.S. soldiers with any legal problems that arise for them back home.
