MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
UNDER SECRETARIES OF DEFENSE
COMMANDERS OF THE COMBATANT COMMANDS
ASSISTANT SECRETARIES OF DEFENSE
GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE
ASSISTANTS TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
DIRECTOR, ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT
SUBJECT: Interaction with the Media
It is important that the news media have appropriate access to many aspects of DoD activities and operations. Consistent with applicable laws and procedures, we are obliged to ensure that the information provided to them is timely, accurate, credible, and consistent. I have said many times that we must strive to be as open, accessible, and transparent as possible.
At the same time, I am concerned that the Department has grown lax in how we engage with the media, often in contravention of established rules and procedures. We have far too many people talking to the media outside of channels, sometimes providing information which is simply incorrect, out of proper context, unauthorized, or uninformed by the perspective of those who are most knowledgeable about and accountable for interand
intra-agency policy processes, operations, and activities.
We must deal with the media in a manner that safeguards information protected by law and that maintains the integrity ofthe government's internal decision making processes. Leaking of classified information is against the law, cannot be tolerated, and will, when proven, lead to the prosecution of those found to be engaged in such activity. Revealing unclassified, but sensitive, pre-decisional, or otherwise restricted information is also prohibited unless specifically authorized.
Current DoD policy, outlined by Directive 5122.05, "Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs," (attached) states that the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs is the sole release authority for official DoD infonnation to news media in Washington, and that all media activities must be coordinated through appropriate public affairs channels. This policy is, all too often, ignored. Accordingly,
o OSD 07891-10 . I~~~IIIIIIII~ 'II~II~~ Irl~IIIIIIII~IIIII~II~~ ~~ IIIIIII~ II~IIII~ ~I~IIIII il~11
we must enhance our internal coordination mechanisms to ensure that Department
officials are aware of the most current departmental and inter-agency information and perspective on the topic at hand when they engage the media. We need to ensure that, as they do so, we avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications caused by insufficient situational awareness.
Accordingly, prior to interviews or any other means ofmedia and public engagement with possible national or international implications, all component leaders or their public affairs officers must notify OSD Public Affairs which, in turn and as appropriate, will ensure that senior Department officials with the relevant overall knowledge and situational awareness have been consulted.
I have asked the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs to work with OSD component heads, military department heads, and combatant commanders to implement the attached additional guidance.
Attachments: As stated
•
Leaders of OSD components, military departments and combatant commands will coordinate directly or via designated representatives the release of official Department ofDefense information which may have national or international implications, both internally and with OSD/PA.
•
OSD components, military departments and combatant commands will review their respective organizational staffmg framework to assure those delegated command release authority have the experience, acumen, and perspective necessary to responsibly fulfill the obligations of coordinating media engagements .
•
OSD components, military departments and combatant commands will work with OSD Legislative Affairs and OSD Public Affairs to ensure information of consequence provided to the Congress is synchronized with OSD Public Affairs as appropriate.
•
OSD Public Affairs will coordinate briefings for OSD components, military departments and combatant commands on the rules, regulations and responsibilities regarding the release of information to the public and the media (attached).
•
OSD component heads, military department heads and combatant commanders will reinforce to their subordinates the importance of protecting classified information from public disclosure, and the legal consequences for those who do not.

ProNCWLESOFThWORMATION
It is the policy ofthe Department ofDefense to make available timely and accurate infonnation so that the public, Congress, and the news media may assess and understand the facts about national security and defense strategy. Requests for infonnation from organizations and private citizens shall be answered in a timely manner. In carrying out the policy, the following principles of infonnation will apply:
a.
Infonnation will be made fully and readily available, consistent with the statutory requirements, unless its release is precluded by current and valid security classification. The provisions ofthe Freedom ofInfonnation Act will be supported in both letter and spirit.
b.
A free flow of general and military infonnation will be made available, without censorship or propaganda, to the men and women ofthe Anned Forces and their dependents.
c.
Infonnation will not be classified or otherwise withheld to protect the Government from criticism or embarrassment.
d.
Infonnation will be withheld only when disclosure would adversely affect national security, threaten the safety or privacy of the men and women of the Anned Forces, or if otherwise authorized by statute or regulation.
e.
The Department of Defense's obligation to provide the public with infonnation on its major programs may require detailed public affairs planning and coordination within the Department of Defense and with the other Government agencies. The sole purpose of such activity is to expedite the flow of infonnation to the public; propaganda has no place in DoD public affairs programs.

STATEMENT OF DoD PRINCIPLES FOR NEWS MEDIA COVERAGE OF
DoD OPERAnONS
1.
Open and independent reporting shall be the principal means of coverage of U.S. military
operations.
2.
Media pools (limited number ofnews media who represent a larger number of news media organizations for news gatherings and sharing of material during a specified activity) are not to serve as the standard means of covering U.S. military operations. However, they sometimes may provide the only means of early access to a military operation. In this case, media pools should be as large as possible and disbanded at the earliest opportunity (in 24 to 36 hours, when possible). The arrival ofearly-access media pools shall not cancel the principle of independent coverage for journalists already in the area.
3.
Even under conditions of open coverage, pools may be applicable for specific events, such as those at extremely remote locations or where space is limited.
4.
Journalists in a combat zone shall be credentialed by the U.S. military and shall be required to abide by a clear set of military security ground rules that protect U.S. Anned Forces and their operations. Violation ofthe ground rules may result in suspension of credentials and expulsion from the combat zone of the journalist involved. News organizations shall make their best efforts to assign experienced journalists to combat operations and to make them familiar with
U.S. military operations.
5.
Journalists shall be provided access to all major military units. Special operations restrictions may limit access in some cases.
6.
Military PA officers should act as liaisons, but should not interfere with the reporting process.
7.
Under conditions of open coverage, field commanders should be instructed to permit journalists to ride on military vehicles and aircraft when possible. The military shall be responsible for the transportation of pools.
8.
Consistent with its capabilities, the military shall supply PA officers with facilities to enable timely, secure, compatible transmission ofpool material and shall make those facilities available, when possible, for filing independent coverage. If Government facilities are unavailable,
9 ENCLOSURE 3
DoDD 5122.05, September 5,2008
journalists, as always, shall file by any other means available. The military shall not ban communications systems operated by news organizations, but electromagnetic operational
security in battlefield situations may require limited restrictions on the use of such systems.
9. Those principles in paragraph 8 shall apply as well to the operations ofthe standing DoD National Media Pool system.
