Due to the popularity of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the Army - TopicsExpress



          

Due to the popularity of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the Army has re-emphasized the standing regulations regarding participation in fund raising activities. The Office of General Counsel (OGC) Standards of Conduct Office has ruled that Army employees, including Soldiers, may not take the ALS awareness Ice Bucket Challenge in uniform - including military uniforms and other civilian uniforms clearly showing an Army relationship - i.e. Department of Army civilian police uniform, and post it on the internet. ALS Association is a national non-profit organization. As such, participating in this event is subject to concerns about implied endorsement. The OGC is the federal agency that has final say on appropriate ethical behavior for Army personnel. As a Soldier, you are not able to endorse any fundraising challenges in your military uniform but are freely able to do so off-duty and in civilian attire. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss with your chain of command.
