Media Relations
Mission
Media
Relations fulfills the Guard's obligation to keep South Carolinians and the Guard
informed, and helps to establish the conditions that lead to confidence in South
Carolina's Defense Force and its readiness to conduct operations in peacetime,
conflict and disaster.
What We Do
The State Guard's Media Relations Unit is focused on bringing positive media coverage to the
State Guard and the involvement of the Guard in its missions. Since
the Guard lacks name recognition in our State, it is vital to
promote the benefits of a well-trained, ready Force that strengthens
the Homeland.
With troop levels being stressed to fight the War on Terror, the
State Guard's mission becomes even more critical. Whether our role is to be redefined or
jurisdiction broadened is not clear, the State Guard is likely to
serve in an expanded capacity.
Representation in state government is an absolute "must" since laws
are presented and passed, everyday. Bills that could potentially
impact the State Guard are on the floor right now. If our role is to
be redefined, any influence we have with lawmakers now, is a
benefit. This is the primary reason in forming the Media Relations
Unit.
We look forward to
putting the State Guard in a positive light and helping form policy
that promotes recruiting and retention.
We are proud to serve
our communities and State.
HOOAH!
