to Military Sentinel
Military Sentinel
is a project of the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of
Defense to identify and target consumer protection issues that
affect members of the United States Armed Forces and their families.
To file a consumer complaint, click
on your service seal. This will link you to the consumer complaint
forms.
Military Sentinel
also provides a gateway to consumer education materials covering a
wide range of consumer protection issues, from auto leasing, to
identity theft, to work-at-home scams.

and find out more about the Federal Trade Commission, click on the
Federal Trade Commission seal.
Military Sentinel
allows members of the United States Armed Forces to enter consumer
complaints directly into a database that is immediately accessible
by over 500 law enforcement organizations throughout the United
States, Canada, and Australia. These law enforcement agencies use
this complaint data to target cases for prosecution and other
enforcement measures. The information from
Military Sentinel
can also be used by members of the JAG staff and others in the
Department of Defense to help protect armed services members and
their families from consumer protection-related problems.
