189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs is located on Little Rock AFB and provides support to AR National Guard Joint Force Headquarters, 189th Airlift Wing, AR National Guard State Public Affairs office, and the AR National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit as requested. 

189 AW/PA provides support for:

• Time-critical official investigations, crisis response and other requests directly affecting the installation’s ability to perform its operational mission. Requests include alert documentation for evidentiary and decisional purposes, and assisting senior leaders with public and media interaction during emergencies and contingencies. These requests are fulfilled by the 189 AW/PA office solely for the 189 AW between 0700 - 1645.
• Combat readiness, wing-level or higher commander priorities and objectives, operational test and evaluation missions, and major command-directed support. Requests may include media engagements, command information coverage, or community relations engagements such as tours, speakers, statics, flyovers and base participation in off-base events on an as-available basis.
• Education and training, unit-level internal information, squadron-level and above official recognition programs and installation support.
