§ 556.31 - Scope.

Latest version.

(a) This chapter specifies policy for official participation by DA agencies, commands, and personnel in the activities of private organizations, societies, and associations, including technical and professional societies that operate on- or off-DA installations.

(b) The following provisions do not apply to DA military or civilian personnel participating in POs as individuals, acting outside their official capacity as employees of the Federal Government. Such membership or participation is permissible as long as it complies with laws (including the Hatch Act and the Anti-Lobbying Act) and regulations that prohibit soldiers and civilian employees from engaging in activities inconsistent with their Federal employment. (See AR 600-50.)
