SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill --  The 375th Public Affairs office serves as the link between Team Scott and the public.
375th PA keeps up to date on the news and current events so they can provide trusted counsel to the base's leaders.

375th PA builds, maintains and strengthens the Air Force's relationships with the public, as well as the morale and readiness of Airmen.

They can often be found behind cameras, filming an event, snapping a photo or even making sure commanders are ready before they find themselves in front of that camera.
They write stories for the base paper and for Web sites about Team Scott's mission and, most importantly, the value of Team Scott's Airmen.

The Public Affairs, or PA, office has three primary functions: internal information, media relations, and community relations.

Internal information programs are the primary means Air Force leaders use to communicate with Airmen and their families, retirees, civilians and contract employees.

Internal programs for the 375th AMW include the Command Post newspaper, the Commander's Access Channel, the Base Guide, maps, biographies and fact sheets.
The role of community relations is to enable commanders to enhance Airmen morale and readiness as well as public trust and support. The 375th AMW community relations initiatives include programs like base and civic leader tours, orientation flights, open houses and air shows, and the Speakers Bureau program.

The 375th AMW's media relations function serves as the link between the wing and the Air Force to local, regional, national and international news media and informs global audiences about Scott's air, space and cyberspace capabilities.

Located in Bldg. 700 West, at 901 South Drive, just past the veterinary clinic and next door to the tax center, 375th AMW PA also provides many services to Team Scott members beyond the support role provided to Team Scott's senior leaders.
