Units > 436th AW Public Affairs

The Public Affairs office has three major areas of responsibility: internal information, media relations and community relations. Through these three areas, they ensure that both the Dover Air Force Base community and the general public are kept well informed, and that strong relations are maintained between the 436th Airlift Wing and the local community. From producing a base newspaper to maintaining the public Web site, as well as providing information to local, national and international media outlets, the public affairs staff reviews and approves information that can be released to openly and accurately communicate with the base's various publics.
