COM‐2B: Utilize multi‐media tools and methods to disseminate information. Primary Party:
The AZARNG should use a range of methods, including different media platforms to
disseminate information about increased training missions that may produce atypical
noise levels, other activities that have a community impact, and a point of contact for
questions or concerns. This information should be made available on the AZARNG
website and through JLUS partner jurisdiction’s public service announcement and
media outlets, both traditional and social. When possible, the AZARNG should
prepare a monthly general schedule of any planned special or unusual activities or
night operations that may occur and publish it in in local media, as long as the
information does not conflict with operational security procedures or is otherwise
appropriate.

COM‐2D: Establish an AZARNG Community Plans and Liaison Officer position. Primary Party:
The AZARNG should look into establishing a Community Plans and Liaison Officer

COM‐2E: Develop AZARNG informational news briefs and social media. Primary Party:
The AZARNG Public Affairs Office should develop short (1‐5 minutes in duration)
promotional and informational video news briefs that provide an overview of the
general mission and operations at AZARNG sites and some quick facts about recent or
future military activities. The new briefs should be updated periodically to present
fresh and current information. These video spots could be aired on local news
stations, social media networks, at movie theaters, on appropriate web sites, and
other venues. To reduce costs, existing coordination and media communication
contracts should be leveraged.
