Synopsis as published on the index
The rapidly evolving market and proliferation of Personal Portable Electronic Devices (PPEDs) presents a significant risk to Marine Corps personnel both on and off duty, and to Marine Corps operations globally. PPED use can reduce situational awareness, compromise privacy, and threaten operations security (OPSEC) per reference (a). Reference (b) first established Marine Corps policy governing the use of PPEDs and official portable electronic devices (OPEDs), directing all commanders to publish detailed orders governing the use of PPEDs/OPEDs by Marines, Sailors, and Civilian Marines by 1 January 2017. This Order supersedes reference (b) and establishes guidance for commanders, leaders, and Marines to better address PPED/OPED usage and associated risks, across the fleet. This Order applies to the Total Force unless conducting activities, operations, or exercises under the authority, direction, and control of a joint command or other organization outside of the Marine Corps (i.e., units conducting activities under combatant command (CCMD) authority or the direction and control of a combat support agency (CSA)), with a policy that is more restrictive than that established by this Order. In such cases, Marines shall follow the guidance of that organization.
