Marines, sailors to get more training on political do’s and don’ts

The Marine Corps and Navy have ordered all Marines, sailors and federal civilian employees to undergo training about off-limits political activities this summer, ahead of the presidential election.

In an Aug. 12 message, Marine Corps staff director Lt. Gen. Gregg Olson ordered commanders to train units on the do’s and don’ts of political involvement by Sept. 15.


Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro set the same deadline in a message issued July 17.

The orders come after the DOD’s Office of Inspector General reported in May that the Pentagon had failed to properly train and guide troops about partisan political activities before the 2024 campaign season.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

After the Mark Milley fiasco where he said he wouldn't obey Trump, that training should include everyone through the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
