The legal / crime / adventure drama JAG, about an elite legal wing of officers trained as lawyers who investigate, prosecute and defend those accused of crimes in the military, including murder, treason and terrorism, came to a series end with its 10th season. Navy Commander ace pilot turned lawyer Harmon “Harm” Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott) and by-the-book Marine Lieutenant Colonel Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) find themselves for the last time clashing as they traverse the globe together to search for and discover the truth.
The final season brought about a significant cast change, as Rear Admiral A. J. Chegwidden (John M. Jackson), the Judge Advocate General himself, had retired at the end of the 9th season. Replacing him was Major General Gordon "Biff" Cresswell (David Andrews).
The JAG: Season Ten DVD set of 5 discs contain the 22 episodes that aired on CBS from September 2004 through April 2005.
