Army Regulation AR 360-1 The Army Public Affairs Program February 2025

This United States Army manual, Army Regulation AR 360-1 The Army Public Affairs Program February 2025, establishes policies for conducting Army public affairs (PA) programs.

The Army defines the PA Program as the guide to conducting public communication strategy for information, command information, leader engagements, and community outreach activities directed toward both the external and in-ternal publics with interest in the Department of Defense (DoD). PA policies and principles apply across the range of military and peacetime operations. PA is a command responsibility and will not be delegated or subordinated to any other staff function. PA follows the DoD Principles of Information (see DoDD 5122.05). PA exists to maintain the trust and confidence of the American public and deter adversaries. It is the commander’s responsibility to disseminate accurate and timely information (see DoDD 5122.05).
