American Forces Network Connect and American Forces Network Now

The American Forces Network (AFN) must confirm the eligibility and identification of the authorized audience before allowing access to restricted AFN programming services (i.e., radio, television, and web streaming services). Failure to control access would jeopardize AFN’s access and authorization to broadcast the secured content worldwide, which would, in turn, negatively impact the network’s command information (CI) mission. The AFN Program communicates CI messages and themes from senior DoD leaders as well as other leaders in the chain of command to promote situational awareness, sustain readiness, provide immediate force protection information, and enhance morale, quality of life, and well-being of the authorized audience.
