How the US Army Use Social Media
1 like396 views
The US military is gradually allowing greater access to social media from its computer networks. Certain branches like the Marines still ban it due to security risks, but the Department of Defense now allows access to sites like Facebook and Twitter from its non-classified network. The Army uses social media as a way to share its story and connect soldiers to families. It must register official social media pages on the DoD website. The policy aims to balance security with utilizing 21st century communication tools.
