Guidance for Fiscal Year 2016 Community Outreach Events

Marine Administrative Message 643/15 provides guidance to commanders for conducting community outreach events in fiscal year 2016 to ensure consistency in execution across the Marine Corps. The intent is to emphasize support to local events that occur at no-cost to the government and focus authorized expenditures primarily on areas not normally reached.

This community outreach plan allows maximum public outreach within prescribed funding limits and gift acceptance policies. Community outreach events are approved for execution for events such as the Marine Corps birthday and other significant historical commemorations, including the Battle of Belleau Wood, Battle of Iwo Jima, Vietnam 50th Anniversary, Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. The MARADMIN also outlines parameters for allotted aviation support assets allowed to each command’s outreach mission, as well as guidance for outreach support for non-governmental, veteran service and military service organizations.
