Media Relations
Blount Island Command and Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island are committed to supporting members of the media in their efforts to accurately and comprehensively cover our Corps. We understand the crucial role that journalists play in keeping the public informed and strive to facilitate your work in several ways. Reporters can send us their information to request future public releases and media advisories.
Access: We can connect you with subject matter experts and official spokespersons who can offer authoritative perspectives on a wide range of topics, as well as arrange base visits and interviews with Marines, providing you with firsthand insights into our operations and culture.
Timely, Accurate: Our team is dedicated to providing up-to-date and accurate information, ensuring you have the facts you need to tell compelling stories. We maintain a library of high-quality media resources, including photos, videos and fact sheets, to support your reporting. In fact, you can download public domain content from across the Corps, including images and stories at DVIDSHub.net. To download public domain content, register for a DVIDS account (don't forget: subscribe to Blount Island Command).
Local, Hometown: Don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to assist and look forward to working together to share stories of our Marines. Local media outlets can submit inquiries about the command to BICPublicAffairsOffice@usmc.mil or call 904-716-1783. Local and hometown outlets can also send a request for content via DVIDS.
