Defense Information School (DINFOS)

The Defense Information School (DINFOS) was established in 1964 at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, consolidating various U.S. military public affairs and visual information training programs. Its mission is to provide joint-service training in public affairs, journalism, broadcasting, and multimedia for the Department of Defense, international military students, and U.S. government agencies. In 1995, DINFOS relocated to Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, where it continues to evolve its curriculum to meet the modern information environment. Over the decades, DINFOS has trained tens of thousands of military communicators, playing a crucial role in shaping effective military messaging and information dissemination worldwide.
