dividends.

Unit Fund Manager. The Unit Fund Manager can request unit funds
to purchase various items to send to their Soldiers in theater.
10. Any other information necessary:
• Unit Funds must be used for the collective benefit
of all unit members for off-duty recreational purposes as prescribed
by AR 215-1.
• All unit members must have the opportunity to participate
in the activity supported with unit funds. Activities must relate
