The board of directors of the Military Reporters & Editors Association has sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan calling for the U.S. government to allow media coverage of Ukrainian troops at a U.S. base. Read the letter:
Jan. 20, 2023
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301-1000
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
Old Executive Office Building
Washington, DC 20504
Dear Secretary Austin and National Security Adviser Sullivan,
The Military Reporters & Editors Association joins the Pentagon Press Association’s recent call for the U.S. government to allow media coverage of Ukrainian troops training on how to operate a Patriot missile system at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
For more than 10 years, successive presidential administrations have limited press access to U.S. service members and their allies. As a result, the American public has become far less aware of the work of U.S. troops at home and abroad in training and combat operations.
