About
Us Welcome
to the web page of the Office of Public Communication (OPC), a directorate in
the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Public Affairs. Our mission
is to communicate directly with the American and international publics on behalf
of the Secretary and the Department of Defense (DoD) in order to provide the public
with accurate, timely, and appropriate information about the department's mission,
activities, and policies. OPC
accomplishes this mission through teams that work together to respond to phone,
e-mail, web-based and traditional letter queries. Our
Citizen Contact Team receives, sorts and reviews every query sent to us by the
public. Each response is researched, coordinated, and answered by our Public Affairs
team to ensure the public is receiving the most accurate information available
on behalf of the Department. In
addition to answering public queries, OPC provides information to the public through
our FAQ knowledge base here on DefenseLink. We ensure the information is current
and reflects many of the issues that are of interest to the public. We encourage
the public to review the knowledge base regularly for any updated material.
