DECISION This responds to a request for a decision from Capt. J. M. Ward, Chief, Finance and Accounting Branch, 542d Comptroller Squadron (MAC), Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. Capt. Ward asks whether the Air Force may purchase belt buckles to be awarded to participants in the annual Peacekeeper Challenge competition. For the reasons stated below, we conclude that 10 U.S.C § 1125 (1988), and the Department of Defense's (DoD's) implementing regulation, authorizes the Air Force to purchase the belt buckles. Background Since 1980, the Air Force Special Policy Agency has annually sponsored the Peacekeeper Challenge competition.' The competition is intended to develop and show excellence in security police combat, shooting ability, tactical and professional skills. Winners of the competitions held at various Air Force Major Commands compete in an annual Air Force-wide competition inindividual and team events. Each year, the Air Force has procured belt buckles to distribute as awards to the winners of the Major Command competitions, and other trophies and awards to distribute to the winners of the Air Force-wide competition. 'The Peacekeeper Challenge competition was not held in 1991 because of the Air Force's involvement in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. 65,10-)~ 1/ L,& 33
