125th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

The U.S. Air Force engages in Public Affairs to provide trusted counsel to leaders; build, maintain, and strengthen Airman morale and readiness; enhance public trust and support; and achieve global influence and deterrence. Public Affairs practitioners, bandsmen and broadcasters are dedicated to executing the Public Affairs mission for the Air Force. They use their resources to research, plan, execute, and evaluate communication strategies and tactics.

It is the responsibility of all Airmen to tell the Air Force story. Whether they're representing their base at a community function or representing the U.S. in a wartime or contingency operation, all Airmen are front-line ambassadors for the Air Force. It is imperative for Public Affairs Airmen to prepare all Airmen to be credible, intelligent, and articulate spokespersons for the Air Force.

Our Mission

Public Affairs operations support the warfighter - at home and abroad - the public, and active, retired, reserve and family members, with capabilities that provide trusted counsel and guidance to leaders about public information, enhance Airman morale and readiness to accomplish our mission, and gain and maintain public support for military operations. We also communicate the mission of the U.S. Air Force to provide global influence and deterrence.

PA Core Competencies

The five Public Affairs core competencies are directly linked to the Air Force Core Competencies. The core competencies provide the Public Affairs triad with the vision to integrate information into operations at home and in an expeditionary role. The core competencies are supported by five key processes and process improvements constituting the way the Air Force conducts Public Affairs.

These five competencies are:
· Trusted Counsel to Leaders
· Airman Morale and Readiness
· Public Trust and Support
· Global Influence and Deterrence
· Public Affairs Readiness
