Kunsan launches new public Web site Published Feb. 28, 2007 By Staff Sgt. Nathan Gallahan 8th Fighter Wing Public Affairs KUNSAN AIR BASE, Repulic of Korea -- Kunsan has a new public Web site geared towards providing the global audience with news, photos, art and other information about the Wolf Pack. It's not just Kunsan making the change. Every base is transitioning to the Air Force Public Information Management System, used to manage all base public Web sites. According to web program migration guidance, the goal is to standardize AF Web sites, improve security and performance as well as decrease infrastructure, manpower and operating costs. This Web site change is a shift in culture for the Air Force. For years, Airmen have relied on public Web sites for newcomer information, services and education center information, all which don't apply to everyone visiting that Web site. "It's simple," Capt. J.P. Lage, Wolf Pack public affairs officer said. "Information like that needs to be controlled for security reasons. If I were a terrorist, I would love to have that information. It would be really easy for me to figure out where to wear my suicide vest next without having to hack some secure Web site." Although Airmen here will find plenty of interesting and pertinent information on the Web site, everyone should remember what the primary focus of the public Web site is.to inform the global audience. Military members should begin looking at Air Force Portal for military specific information. Before, some units may have had up to three or four different Web sites they had to keep updating with the same information. "That is not only repetitive and confusing for someone trying to get the right information, but also costly to the Air Force, Capt. Lage said. "We, as information providers, work towards focusing information to its appropriate audience while securing that information to protect our forces, all while streamlining the entire process."
