While this is an open forum, it's also a family friendly one, so please keep your comments and posts clean. You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your comments, your username and any information provided. Comments and posts that violate any of the guidelines listed below may be removed:

• Do not post graphic, obscene, explicit or racial comments. We also do not allow comments that are abusive, hateful, vindictive or intended to defame anyone or any organization. Do not threaten other users with acts of violence.

• Do not post any solicitations (i.e.: asking users to "like" your page, visit your website, sign a petition, contribute to a fundraiser).

• Do not post advertisements, prize contests or giveaways. This includes promotion or endorsement of any financial, commercial or non-governmental agency. Similarly, we do not allow attempts to defame or defraud any financial, commercial or non-governmental agency.

• Do not post details about an ongoing investigation or legal or administrative proceeding that could prejudice the processes or could interfere with an individual's rights will be deleted from this page.

• Do not post copyrighted or trademarked images or graphics. Imagery posted on the Facebook wall should be owned by the user.

• Do not post comments, photos or videos that suggest or encourage illegal activity.

• Do not post political propaganda.

• Do not post documents of any kind.

• All information posted to social media sites will be unclassified. No FOUO (for official use only), classified, pre-decisional, proprietary or business-sensitive information should ever be posted or discussed on this page. This is a violation of privacy. The appearance of external links or the use of third-party applications on this site does not constitute official endorsement on behalf of the U.S. Army or Department of Defense. Additional Guidelines:

1. Do not post exact deployment dates or redeployment dates – stick to generalities such as “Spring” or "in a few weeks".

2. Do not reveal camp or FOB locations for future movements or deployments, including nearby cities. After the deployment is officially announced by military officials, you may discuss locations that have been released, normally on the major city, province or country level (i.e. Baghdad or Kabul).

3. Do not discuss convoy routes (we traveled through Tikrit on our way to FOB X).

4. Do not post detailed information on the mission, capabilities or morale of a unit.

5. Do not post specific names or actual nicknames.

6. Do not post or discuss personnel transactions that occur in large numbers (Example: pay information, powers of attorney, wills, etc.).

7. Do not discuss or post details concerning security procedures, response times, tactics.

8. Do not post or discuss equipment or lack thereof, to include training equipment.

9. Do not post or speculate about future operations.

10. If posting pictures, don’t post anything that could be misconstrued or used for propaganda purposes. A good rule of thumb is to look at your picture without your caption or explanation and consider if it could be re-captioned to reflect poorly on coalition forces.

11. Avoid the use of count-up or count-down tickers for the same reason as rule #1

12. Be very careful if posting pictures of your loved ones. Avoid images that show significant landmarks near their base of operations, and black out last names and unit affiliations

13. Do not, ever, post information about casualties (coalition or enemy) before the official release of the information.

14. Do not pass on rumors. For example "I heard they were returning early". If you have any questions, contact your (or your sponsor’s) unit OPSEC manager.”
