Chapter 9 of this instruction governs gifts from foreign governments to military members and civilian employees of the Air Force and to their dependents (which are imputed to the military members and civilian employees). It does not apply to offers of gifts directly to the United States from foreign governments made under 10 U.S.C. § 2608. Gifts to military members and civilian employees below the specified Minimal Value may be accepted and retained by the individual recipient. Gifts above Minimal Value may not be accepted by individuals, but may accepted on behalf of the Air Force and retained by the Air Force for official use (including display purposes). Note: Decora tions and awards presented to individual Airmen from foreign governments are not considered gifts to the Air Force and are covered by AFI 36-2803, The Air Force Military Awards and Decorations Program.
This document has been revised and must be completely reviewed. It supersedes and replaces AFI 51-601 and supersedes AFI 51-901, the provisions of which are incorporated in Chapter 9. Delegations of gift acceptance authority made in AFPD 51-5 are further clarified. Chapter 4 has been added to provide expanded guidance on donor identification. Chapter 6 has been added to provide new guidance on gifts to the USAFA pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2601(e) (gifts conditional upon the granting of naming rights). Chapter 8 has been added to provide new guidance on accepting the gift of travel benefits from a non-Federal entity pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 1353
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

11 publications in 7 other communities depend on this one, which Law owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If AFI 51-506 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
