PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT

Public Affairs Productivity Portal (P3)

Click Here to Request Air Force and Space Force 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.

Click the Public Affairs hyperlink on the far left and select "New Request." Enter your email, you will be sent a onetime pass code. You will be taken to a servicing team page. Select Travis AFB and select the unit.  From the Servicing Team & Capabilities page select the service category. 

Note: Military members should use their official e-mail address for better customer service.

Studio Special Instructions

The 60th AMW Base Visual Information Service Center is the official Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for official studio photography at Travis AFB.

Generally, requests for portraits fall under three catagories:

  • Official portraits as required under the AFI
  • Applications for special duty assignments
  • 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:

  • Official passport photo (with UDM approval)
  • PSA video recording
  • Wing level video product recording (Wing level feature products)
  • AFI authorized photos (Unit commanders, wing annual award winners, and AFI mandated portraits.)
  • Other requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis

If PA can’t support your photo request, loaner cameras are available for units to take photos. Units may print their photos at the Base Visual Information Service Center using their self-help printer. Please call ahead at (707) 424-3936, to ensure availability to assist.

Note:  This P3 portal will now be used in place of the AF 833-request form.
