The Role of Public Affairs in Building Partner Capacity

Abstract

In order to support National and DoD strategic guidance, it is essential for public affairs to be a key part of Building Partner Capacity in order to assist our allies and partners to achieve proficiency in the information domain. When we assist our partners in building public affairs capacity, they achieve a greater understanding of the strategic impact of communication and better complement our communication efforts during a contingency. There is little to no literature describing how the U.S. military supports the development of other nations public affairs capabilities. U.S. public affairs skills and knowledge are a means that supports the achievement of U.S. strategic objectives; building our partner s public affairs capacity serves as the ways. U.S. military PAOs at the institutional and operational level support the Building Partner Capacity mission and develop capabilities that produce lasting capacity in our partners.
