About the U.S. Army Print and Media Distribution Center

A division of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command Information Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC)

The U.S. Army Print and Media Distribution Center (APMDC) is the Department of the Army's primary provider and distributor of "authenticated" publications, print services for Headquarters Department of the Army principles officials, Direct Reporting Units to HQDA, Field Operating Agencies of HQDA, and all Army organizations within the Washington DC area per DODI 5330.03 and AR 25-38.

Army organizations outside the Washington DC metropolitan area may use APMDC to assist in their printing and distribution requirements.

Bridging the gap between physical media and modern information systems engineering, the Army ensures its warfighters remain part of the most informed, ready and capable military in the world. APMDC serves as the backbone of the Army's publication and media distribution mission. The Printing Management Division is responsible for the entire lifecycle of any printed materials. This division procures, manages and distributes everything from departmental forms, technical manuals, training publications, and multimedia products for a vast customer base.

APMDC provides customer support for the Active Army, Army Reserves and Army National Guard, as well as cross-service support in the Department of War (DOW), Foreign Military Sales, Navy, Air Force, Marines and direct support to the Pentagon and White House.
