Community/Media Relations
Community Relations (Comrel), as part of the broader Community Outreach and Engagement efforts under the U.S. Army Public Affairs Program, is responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships between the military and local civilian communities. This includes organizing and supporting host nation events, official ceremonies, and providing informational tours of the Grafenwoehr training area and Water Tower to increase transparency and mutual understanding and to educate neighboring communities about the U.S. Army mission and history. ComRel also handles media interactions and requests, and supports engagement through organizations such as the German-American Kontakt Club. These activities aim to foster trust, cooperation, and open communication with both U.S. and international publics in accordance with Army policy and AR 360-1.

Der Bereich „Community/Media Relations“ (ComRel) ist als Teil der umfassenderen Bemühungen um Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und Bürgerbeteiligung im Rahmen des Public-Affairs-Programms der US-Armee dafür zuständig, enge Beziehungen zwischen dem Militär und den lokalen Zivilbevölkerungen aufzubauen und zu pflegen. Dazu gehören die Organisation und Unterstützung von Veranstaltungen der Gastnation sowie offizieller Feierlichkeiten und die Durchführung von Informationsführungen durch das Truppenübungsgebiet Grafenwöhr und den Wasserturm, um Transparenz und gegenseitiges Verständnis zu fördern und die umliegenden Gemeinden über den Auftrag und die Geschichte der US-Armee aufzuklären. ComRel kümmert sich außerdem um den Umgang mit den Medien und deren Anfragen und unterstützt die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit durch Organisationen wie den Deutsch-Amerikanischen Kontakt-Club. Diese Aktivitäten zielen darauf ab, Vertrauen, Zusammenarbeit und offene Kommunikation sowohl mit der US-amerikanischen als auch mit der internationalen Öffentlichkeit im Einklang mit der Politik der Armee und Armee Regulierung 360-1 zu fördern.

Command Information
The Garrison PAO Command Information (CI) team is responsible for event coverage—including photography, written stories, and official documentation—as well as managing social media posts, website and app updates, and reviewing speeches, remarks, and other command-related content. These services are provided only for events and activities that directly support the Garrison Commander’s mission and intent, in accordance with AR 360-1 (The Army Public Affairs Program). Additionally, only events involving official mission partners or those within the garrison community may be shared on official platforms. Per AR 360-1, the Army is prohibited from endorsing non-federal entities; therefore, events sponsored by outside organizations or unrelated to the command’s mission cannot be promoted or published on official websites or social media channels. Events from external partners must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance and prevent the appearance of endorsement, while still supporting community awareness when appropriate. To request PAO support, please ensure your event clearly aligns with the Garrison PAO mission.

Das Team „Command Information“ (CI) der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Garnison ist für die Berichterstattung über Veranstaltungen – einschließlich Fotografie, schriftlicher Berichte und offizieller Dokumentation – sowie für die Verwaltung von Beiträgen in sozialen Medien, Aktualisierungen der Website und der App und die Überprüfung von Reden, Stellungnahmen und anderen kommandobezogenen Inhalten zuständig. Diese Dienste werden gemäß AR 360-1 (The Army Public Affairs Program) ausschließlich für Veranstaltungen und Aktivitäten bereitgestellt, die den Auftrag und die Absichten des Garnisonskommandanten unmittelbar unterstützen. Darüber hinaus dürfen auf offiziellen Plattformen nur Veranstaltungen geteilt werden, an denen offizielle Missionspartner beteiligt sind oder die innerhalb der Garnisonsgemeinschaft stattfinden. Gemäß AR 360-1 ist es der Armee untersagt, nicht-föderale Einrichtungen zu unterstützen; daher dürfen Veranstaltungen, die von externen Organisationen gesponsert werden oder keinen Bezug zur Mission des Kommandos haben, nicht auf offiziellen Websites oder in sozialen Medien beworben oder veröffentlicht werden. Veranstaltungen externer Partner müssen von Fall zu Fall geprüft werden, um die Einhaltung der Vorschriften sicherzustellen und den Anschein einer Unterstützung zu vermeiden, während gleichzeitig das Bewusstsein der Gemeinschaft gefördert wird, sofern dies angemessen ist. Um Unterstützung durch das PAO zu beantragen, stellen Sie bitte sicher, dass Ihre Veranstaltung eindeutig mit der Mission des Garnisons-PAO übereinstimmt.
