316th Wing Public Affairs

What We Do

The PA office is responsible for providing accurate, relevant and timely information on Joint Base Andrews issues, programs and base events to the people in this community and members of the news media.

Our office tells the Joint Base Andrews story to the American public. Through targeted communication, we reach out to our internal audience on base, the local public and military and civic leaders. We have a toolbox full of traditional news reporting; feature stories and commentaries; video reports, print, and social media. The PA team utilizes each of these tools to strategically shape and strengthen the Air Force's, as well as Joint Base Andrews, public image.
