Mission Statement
The mission of the Public Affairs Office is to be the commander’s voice to a wide range of audiences. This is done by communicating command information rapidly and accurately, being proactive and responsive to external media requests, and by developing MCLB Albany’s relationship with the Albany community. The Public Affairs Office operates under the Department of Defense’s policy of “Maximum Disclosure, Minimum Delay.”
Internal Communication
The Public Affairs Office is committed to communicating command information quickly and accurately to members of MCLB Albany and tenants. The internal audience includes active-duty and reserve military members, Department of the Navy employees, retirees and the families of all those groups. Internal communication establishes, maintains and employs two-way communication channels between command leaders and command members.
External Communication
A core public affairs mission for all commands is to provide a timely, accurate and truthful flow of information. The Public Affairs Office is committed to being proactive with and responsive to all members of local, state, and national media.
Community Relations
Community outreach is an important contributor to achieving the mission. The Public Affairs Office is committed to developing and enhancing relationships with the surrounding communities, specifically, the city of Albany & Dougherty County.
