Aiming to be the premier ethics program in the United States Federal Government, the Air Force Ethics Office (SAF/GCA) provides ethics leadership to all Air Force personnel through training, education, and case-specific guidance, offering legal advice to ensure public confidence in the integrity of government officials.  The Air Force Ethics Office upholds the Air Force core values of integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.

In light of a possible Government shutdown, we added information for Air and Space Force employees to our SharePoint site on ethics during a government shutdown. The site is available to all CAC holders with a .mil e-mail address. You can find the information here.
