Commanders may choose to have New Year's Day visits occur on a day other than New Year's Day if deemed more practical.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only during special occasions
• D. Only with additional authorization

Answer: (B)

Commanders have the authority to adjust holiday observances to fit unit needs. If conducting New Year’s Day visits on the actual date would interfere with operations, security, or travel, the commander can designate a different day for those visits when it’s more practical. This keeps the courtesy and tradition intact while preserving readiness and mission requirements. Therefore, the statement is true. It isn’t restricted to special occasions or automatically require additional approvals beyond the commander's own decision.
