Reporting on Fort Drum
Fort Drum is a military installation. For security reasons, installation access rules require a public affairs escort to be present any time members of the media conduct news-gathering activities on post. For invited events, media should RSVP in accordance with the instructions provided in the media advisory to coordinate a public affairs escort onto the installation.
For other stories, news media representatives may request assistance from the Media Relations Branch. Requests are granted as resources and DoD regulations allow.
Service members and military Family Members who are interested in engaging the media are welcome to contact our office for assistance.
