Soldiers have always been the U.S. Army’s best and most effective messengers. Social media allows Soldiers to tell their story in an authentic and intimate manner. By interacting with Soldiers, Family members, Department of the Army Civilians and the public on social media platforms, the U.S. Army enables communities to be built that increase confidence and create an environment where our audience goes for trusted information.

Social media enables the U.S. Army Family around the world to stay connected and tell the U.S. Army’s story. Every time an organization or member of the U.S. Army Family joins social media, it increases the timely and transparent dissemination of information. It ensures that the U.S. Army’s story is shared honestly and directly to Americans where they are and whenever they want to see, read or hear it. Social media allows every Soldier to be a part of the U.S. Army’s story and it allows America to connect with its Army. The U.S. Army uses social media to tell the U.S. Army’s story, but it also uses social media to listen.
