Telling the Air Force story
The Office of Public Affairs is Wright-Patt's direct link to neighboring communities and the news media. Our mission is to tell the Air Force story, build public trust and support, enhance Airmen morale and readiness. Public Affairs contributes to global influence and deterrence by releasing timely, accurate information on Air Force people, activities and capabilities.

A minimum of 30 days notice is normally required for speakers, and we reserve the right to cancel requests due to mission requirements in support of real world events.
