The Internal Communication Program -- A Primer for Commanders and Public Affairs Officers

Abstract

A primary function of Air Force commanders is to establish a communication system within their organizations. Communication ensures mission accomplishment by keeping people informed about goals, methods, and their personal roles. This handbook is primarily designed to help wing commanders develop a base internal communication system, including ideas for effective use of the base newspaper, Commander's Call, Action Line and supervisors. Internal communication is critical to civilian corporations, too. The handbook also discusses how corporation programs can be modified to expand the Air Force communication channels. A descriptive communication model is provided along with recommendations for working with the Public Affairs Office to implement a communication program. (Author)
