FOR ETHICS GUIDANCE
OSD Personnel: The Standards of Conduct Office (SOCO) provides ethics guidance to personnel in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
Military Department/COCOM Personnel: Your local Judge Advocate General or legal office is the most appropriate place for you to receive authoritative ethics guidance. If you do not know whom to contact locally, please try contacting the appropriate Service headquarter ethics office using the contact list along the right side of this page.
Defense Agency Personnel: Your local legal office is the most appropriate place for you to receive authoritative ethics guidance.
If you do not have a legal or ethics contact for your Defense agency/organization, SOCO is happy to forward your inquiry as appropriate.
