In an effort to ward off misinformation, degradation of name, and "raging" the US Air Force's technology division has recently put together a flow chart guide to "counter-blogging." This chart instructs officers on how to handle blog posts that could use some redirection.
While seemingly rather forward thinking the Air Force is actually rather behind in this field as the Both the Army and Navy have made efforts over the past years to connect with bloggers in such matters as "blogger roundtables" and humanitarian missions. The Air Force on the other hand, while obviously beginning to take the plunge, has been largely reclusive in this realm with many sites being altogether banned from Air Force networks.
Captain Flaggard of the Public Affairs Agency has been looking to help mitigate this by setting up a twitter account and even a blog for the service itself.
While still in its infancy the flow chart is a very good step in the right direction it would seem. Military spokesman, Steven Field agrees that "... a military-like process would be a good bridge to connect the services with the blogosphere."
