Public Affairs Office

The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) Public Affairs Office (PAO) manages the installation's communications and outreach efforts. Our office collaborates with other installation PAOs to deliver timely and accurate information to JBPHH personnel, families and the community. We produce video, still photography, web-based and social media products to help keep our key audiences informed of important events aboard the installation. In addition, we oversee community relations, media engagement, and TV/film production outreach on one of the most historically significant and strategically important U.S. military bases in the world.
