Command Information

Air Force leaders rely on Public Affairs professionals to assist them with delivering their communication efforts to Airmen and their families, to include retirees, civilians and contract employees. Command Information provides effective and efficient communication tools and products to link Airmen with their leaders. CI helps Airmen and their families understand their purpose, role, and value to the Air Force community within Air Force Test Center.

Security & Policy Review

Public Affairs offices are responsible for performing and ensuring the proper review and suitability for public release of information. PA-produced products are reviewed by PA professionals for security, accuracy, propriety and policy to determine releasability.

Cases requiring elevated review will be routed to AFIMSC/PA (unit USAF charges with S&PR).

Center-subordinate wings will continue to perform their own wing-level S&PR.

Release vs Clearance: The security and policy review process determines the suitability for public release of information. A clearance does not grant an approval to release the information. Release of information is the decision of the originator of the document, often reached through coordination with the chain of command.

Maximum Disclosure. The Department of the Air Force supports the policy of maximum public release disclosure related to Air and Space Forces operations and activities. Air Force and Space Force PA offices will clear the maximum amount of information at the lowest competent review level.
