Public Affairs

The Virginia Defense Force’s Public Affairs Office is responsible for ensuring that the public and associated organizations are informed about the Virginia Defense Force’s history, mission and activities in order to generate a broad base of public awareness while fostering internal pride in operations. The Public Affairs Office is the principal contact with the news media and prepares and issues Virginia Defense Force news releases and frequently reviews and approves those issued by component elements.

With the computer at our fingertips, it is very easy to post information on many different websites: facebook, twitter, wikipedia, etc. Anyone can post anything they want - it is one of our American freedoms.

Unfortunately, there are times when this freedom is taken advantage of; and this causes us to have to be more diligent in keeping information concerning the VDF accurate and up to date.

Therefore, it is very important that any postings to any web or social site be approved by our Public Affairs Officer before being made public on any website, social media or other informational means that will be viewed by the public at large.

For more detailed information, questions, or suggestions, please email our Webmaster at the link below.
