COASTAL HAPPENINGS
FOR EVERYONE
FOR EVERYONE
ATTENTION: As we enter the political campaign season, our leadership at the highest levels remind us of DoD's long standing tradition to remain apolitical. For example, Soldiers and civilians may not engage in political activity while on duty (to include telework duty), in a Federal building, or while using government equipment. Political activity includes all political statements, whether verbal, via email, social media, or tweet. Active duty Soldiers are further prohibited from partisan political activity, such as wearing a uniform at a political rally or other activities that could associate DoD with a partisan political activity. While these employees may "follow" "friend" or "like" a political party or candidate running for partisan office, they may not post links to, "share" or "re-tweet" comments or tweets from the Facebook page or twitter account of a political party or candidate running for partisan office. All personnel will review the attached memorandum from the Under Secretaryof the Army, along with enclosures 2-4. These documents provide additional important details and guidance regarding permissible and impermissible political activities. Links below
