• Off-duty and leave travel outside the local area (which is defined by unit commanders) requires prior approval by unit leadership.

Off-base uniform policy: Members are not authorized to wear uniforms off base except for traveling between home and their duty location.  Uniformed members should only exit their vehicle off base if an emergency exists. The policy also forbids the wear of a uniform while commuting on a motorcycle, bicycle or as a pedestrian outside of installation confines. Members staying in off-base hotels should limit wearing uniforms in public areas to the greatest extent possible.  Any deviation to this policy must be routed to your Anti-Terrorism Representative.
