Public affairs fulfills the Army's obligation to keep the American people and the Army informed and helps to establish the conditions that lead to confidence in America's Army and its readiness to conduct operations in peacetime, conflict, and war. Every member of the Army team contributes to effective PA. The Soldier is the most effective communicator of the Army story. The primary PA functional areas are command information, public information, and community relations.
The active Army, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard have an obligation to keep the American people, its internal audiences and other key publics informed about its achievements and successes, as well as its problems and failures. Providing information (openly and honestly - with minimum delay) shows courage, candor, competence and commitment, and contributes to confidence, trust, respect and esteem in the force. The PAO communicates the Army's professional character, beliefs, values and ethics. Army Public Affairs promotes a greater understanding of the Army and its contribution to the nation.
When the US Army is understood, the US Army is strengthened. Army morale and esprit are enhanced, which further enhances understanding, confidence, trust, respect and esteem.
