History
The Army Information School was founded in 1946 at Carlisle Barracks. The other U.S. armed services also conducted public affairs and journalism training, and merged with the Army Information School in 1948 to form the Armed Forces Information School in New York. Due to poor enrollment, the joint service venture disbanded until 1964 when Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Arthur Sylvester chartered DINFOS. DINFOS moved to Fort Benjamin Harrison, just outside Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1965 where it remained until its 1995 move to Fort George G. Meade, Maryland.
