PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT

The 349th AMW Public Affairs Office launched the use of the new Public Affairs Productivity Portal (P3) earlier this year.

This portal serves as your one-stop shop for submitting all requests for Public Affairs support including event photography, art services, studio and passport photo appointments, tour, speaker, Security and Policy Review, and general Public Affairs support requests.

Supported Services:

  • Communication Planning & Advise (Strategic Communication, Public Affairs Guidance, Legislative Liaison Support)
  • Official Photography/Videography (Mission & Operations Documentation, Response, & Investigations)
  • Official Photos (Limited to Commanders, Chiefs, 1st Shirts, Wing annual award winners, and AFI mandated portraits)

Self-Help Services & Unsupported Requests
 

For requests that PA is unable to support due to mission prioritization or manpower, we offer self-help services.

  • Base Marquee: 60th AMW Public Affairs handles these requests
  • Self-Help Equipment: Limited still and video equipment is available for checkout on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a great option for retirement ceremonies below E-9/O-6, farewells, or unit-level events
  • Unsupported Requests: IAW Air Force Instruction, PA resources cannot be used to provide souvenirs, personal mementos, or farewell gifts

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the 349 AMW Public Affairs Office at 707-424- 3936 or 349amwpa@us.af.mil.

  • Official passports

The 349th Public Affairs Office, to better support the AFRC mission, has set up a studio to support Traditional Reservists unable to get an appointment at the 60th Public Affairs Base Visual Information Service Center, which is only available Monday through Friday.

Studio photography capabilities are limited to:
