The Department of Defense, by comparison, has a much larger staff. According to Jeff Clark, who handles public inquires for the Assistant Secretary of Defense, his public affairs office houses 123 employees, with 93 who serve as public affairs professionals (as opposed to administrative support and IT workers). This number does not include those employees who serve in the DOD’s armed services branches, including the army, navy, and air force, each of which has its own public affairs teams.
