The development of the substorm-associated current signature in the near magnetotail region is investigated on the basis of ground magnetometer, satellite magnetic field, and energetic particle data collected during the March 28, 1979 substorm event. It is shown that the development of the region 1 and the region 2 systems during substorms should be viewed in terms of the formation of a new current system in the near-tail system, rather than merely an enhancement in the current intensity of preexisting systems. Experimental data suggest that the region 2 system is as important as the region 1 system and must be taken into account. The development of the region 2 system and the three-dimensional current closure are discussed.
