Public Affairs

Leaders rely on public affairs professionals to assist them with delivering their communication efforts to service members and their families, to include retirees, civilians and contract employees. Command Information provides effective and efficient communication tools and products to link members with their leaders. Command Information helps service members and their families understand their purpose, role, and value to the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling community.
