cellphones for its employees, if they are otherwise determined to be a necessary expense.
10. Awards (Including Unit or Regimental Coins and Similar Devices)Agencies generally may not use their appropriated funds to purchase mementos or personal gifts. Congress has provided specific authority to award medals,
trophies, badges, and similar devices to military members for excellence in accomplishments or competitions, but this authority is limited. Somewhat broader authority exists to provide awards to civilian employees.
In both cases, consult the most recent Army Regulation for guidance. Seethe Commander’s Coin chapter for guidance on use of coins as awards.
