Summary This study seeks to establish the nature and extent of political expression by the military in the realm of social media and whether or not such expression is consistent with Department of Defense policy and the norms of an apolitical, nonpartisan military. Past research contends that with the exception of voting in presidential elections, military officers' political participation is fairly muted. Moreover, most allegations of political outspokenness tend to be levied at retired officers, not those on active duty. Department of Defense directives provide guidelines on permissible but traditional forms of political expression for active duty members of the military, but largely neglect social media as a forum for political activity. In this introduction, the author reviews the debate about charges of politicization within the military, examines past research into the political participation habits of members of the military, and evaluates current Department of Defense policies and guidance on political activity, social media, and the 2016 election.
