Defend America, an official Defense Department website, offers the latest news, photographs, transcripts and other information about the U.S.-led global effort against terrorism.
     The Defense Department launched the site before Operation Enduring Freedom began in October 2001. The goal was to inform the public, both in the U.S. and abroad, of what the U.S. was doing to combat global terrorism.
     The site also now features coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom. News reports and photographs by military photojournalists on the frontlines as well as in supporting units are published daily.
     DefendAmerica reports on all branches of the military, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard, both active duty and reserve components.
