Our vision is to build a trained, readily deployable force of Public Affairs professionals, resourced, capable and organized to conduct operations in peace, conflict and war, and to maintain a timely flow of accurate, balanced information to the American people. F ield Manual 46-1 is the keystone doctrinal manual for U.S. Army Public Affairs operations. It focuses on how the Army thinks about public affairs and describes public affairs roles, missions, capabilities and organizations for the active Army, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard. It also describes public affairs employment, command and control, and support across the operational continuum. This manual is the basis for Public Affairs force design and materiel acquisition.
