The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he composition, training, equipping, and control of a military force is frequently “beyond the institutional competence of courts to review.” Lindsay v. United States, 295 F.3d at 1257 .... However, a claim of a procedural violation may be justiciable because “ ‘the test or standards against which this court measures the military’s action are inherent: they are the applicable statutes and regulations.’ ” Id. at 1257-58 (quoting Adkins v. United States, 68 F.3d 1317, 1323 (Fed.Cir.1995)).”
