All military members, including USAFR and ANG members, DOD civilians, and others under Air Force authority who develop, handle, administer, or participate in the extension course program are prohibited from any actions that could result in the possible compromise of AU A4L CEs. Unauthorized discussion, disclosure, or possession of AU A4L CEs is a violation of Article 92, UCMJ.
