Command information provides the defense leadership with the ability
to speak directly to military service members and their families.
Command information - whether it is delivered in person, through
military world wide web sites, over Armed Forces Radio and Television,
or in military publications - is the clear, accurate, and unfiltered
voice of military leadership.
AFIS
operates a Press Service which
provides defense news and information articles to over 900 military
newspapers. The articles are also available to a worldwide audience
from the Press Service web site.
The Press Service also publishes special
web feature reports on a broad range of military topics.
AFIS operates one of the largest television and radio networks
in the world - the Armed Forces
Radio and Television network (AFRTS). The AFRTS network delivers
radio and television command information programming to service
members and their families who are stationed overseas or at sea.
Each week the AFRTS NewsCenter located in Alexandria, VA, produces
11 radio and 5 television military news reports. These reports provide
service members with timely information on defense missions, policies
and programs.The
television reports are inserted throughout the day in the CNN Headline
News program which is broadcast over the AFRTS network. To see a
television report, go to AFRTS
Television News. To listen to a radio report, go to the AFRTS
Radio News.
Since AFIS is not allowed to broadcast advertising over its AFRTS
network, it produces a variety of command information spots for
airing in place of the commercials. These spots provide information
on a variety of topics to include safety, health care, family services.
