Research Findings

The research reveals documented periods when Tulsi Gabbard would have been subject to DoD political activity restrictions as an active duty military member. Gabbard transferred from Hawaii Army National Guard to the 351st Civil Affairs Command (Army Reserve) in June 2020. Key restriction periods include: August 2020 when she fulfilled her annual two-week Army duty requirement in Alaska; October 13 - November 2020 during four weeks of Army Reserve Civil Affairs Officer training; and most significantly, approximately four months of active duty deployment to the Horn of Africa ending in September 2021, during which she was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel on July 4, 2021. During these active duty periods, DoD Directive 1344.10 and related regulations would have restricted her political activities, including prohibitions on partisan political campaigning, fundraising, and certain public political statements while in uniform or on military installations. However, specific drill schedules for her Hawaii National Guard service (2003-2020) or detailed Army Reserve drill dates (2020-2024) were not found in public records, limiting the ability to establish exact monthly restriction periods beyond the documented active duty deployments.
