4. Purpose. This Annex issues, in necessary detail, the public affairs policy of the CINCPACFLT and provides the necessary guidance to conduct effective public affairs  programs  that  conform  with  direction  from  higher  authority.  Additionally, this Annex provides substantial background information on established public affairs practices and procedures to enable public affairs officers (PAOs), both collateral duty and full time, and officers in command to conduct public affairs programs in the most effective manner. It has been written to accommodate the experience levels of all public affairs officers, from newly-appointed collateral-duty PAOs serving in ships at sea, to senior public affairs specialists. It is not meant to be a “coverall,” and no attempt has been made to address all possible or potential circumstances. PAOs at all echelons and experience levels are encouraged to consult with senior PAOs informally, attend training and skill seminars and officially request guidance on specific issues when in doubt. 5.  Supporting  Directives.    PACFLT officers in command shall prepare and issue directives in support of this Annex as necessary to ensure the proper implementation. Authority is granted to make extracts from this Annex as necessary to prepare supporting  directives. 6. Recommended Changes.    All PACFLT commands are encouraged to submit to CINCPACFLT  recommendations  for  changes  which  will  improve  this  Annex. 7.  Timeliness  of  Information.  This  Annex  frequently  directs  that  information  be provided  to  CINCPACFLT  (or  other  designated  officers  in  command)  through  the chain of command. In cases where time is clearly of the essence and submitting such information through normal channels would render it useless or cause it to arrive too late to be of assistance, it is expected that the information in question will be provided  by  message  directly  to  CINCPACFLT  (or  the  appropriate  officer  in command)  with  others  in  the  chain  of  command  as  information  addressees. Information addressees in such messages are expected to comment in a timely fashion on the information just as they would if the information were sent through the chain of command. Again, in cases where time is of the essence but a message will not provide required information early enough to be of use, commands are strongly encouraged to use the telephone. CINCPACFLT Public Affairs is normally manned from 0700W to 1700W on weekdays, except Saturdays when it is manned from  0700W  to  1200W.  During  working  hours  CINCPACFLT  Public  Affairs  may be reached at DSN 430-0111, ext. 471-3769 or 474-4936/4938. During all other hours, the CINCPACFLT Operations Duty Officer should be contacted at DSN 430-0111,  ext.  471-8745/8730.  Public  affairs  telecopy  is  available  24  hours  at (808) 422-0771.
