‼️ Reminder: Information spreads fast, and not all details should be shared!

Our Soldiers and Airmen serve to protect our state and nation, sometimes far away from home and in harm’s way. Sharing information about troop numbers, locations, duties, or timelines, whether by text, social media, or casual conversation, can create unnecessary risk for service members and their families.

Protecting our people while accomplishing the mission is our highest priority, and your assistance in safeguarding sensitive information can help us achieve it.
