The U.S. Army is consolidating its official social media presence, drastically slashing the number of allowable accounts and ordering commanders to remove newly-unauthorized accounts within 30 days, the service announced in a late-June memorandum.
The Army will consolidate local unit social media accounts into a streamlined network for a more unified public presence.
"By cutting through the digital clutter, we are creating reliable, centralized hubs for information," said Alayne Conway, the director of Army Communications and Outreach.
