The mission of the U.S. Army Public Affairs Midwest office, located in downtown Chicago, is to connect America with her Army. We connect America to her Army by interacting with the media, private and civic organizations across a 16-state region. Our internal network includes the Active-Duty Army, Army National Guard, the Army Reserve, Warrior Transition Units, Army Recruiting, the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) and Junior ROTC across our 16 state-region that includes Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin. We also work with our sister service organizations to ensure that no requests to honor our servicemembers go unanswered.
