Major Gen. Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. (USAF, Ret.)

Member FPRI Board of Advisors
Visiting Professor of the Practice of Law and Director of the Center on Law, Ethics, and National Security, Duke University

Charles J. Dunlap Jr., the former deputy judge advocate general of the United States Air Force, joined the Duke Law faculty in July 2010. Dunlap retired from the Air Force in June 2010, having attained the rank of major general during a 34-year career in the Judge Advocate Corps. In his capacity as deputy judge advocate general from May 2006 to March 2010, he assisted the judge advocate general in the professional supervision of more than 2,200 judge advocates, 350 civilian lawyers, 1,400 enlisted paralegals, and 500 civilians around the world. He served tours in the United Kingdom and Korea, and he deployed for operations in the Middle East and Africa, including those in support of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A prolific author and accomplished public speaker, Dunlap's commentary on a wide variety of national security topics has been published in leading newspapers and military journals. His 2001 essay written for Harvard University's Carr Center on "lawfare," a concept he defines as "the use or misuse of law as a substitute for traditional military means to accomplish an operational objective," has been highly influential among military scholars and in the broader legal academy.
