    FORT HOOD, Texas – Fort Hood is hosting its first (and the Army's first) multimedia Facebook and TV Town Hall 5-7 p.m., Jan. 26.

Don Campbell Jr., Fort Hood and III Corps commanding general, Carl R.

    All Facebook queries will be routed and answered by dozens of subject matter experts live during the two-hour session.Their appearance will be broadcast via satellite using DVIDS, a DOD contracted media agency in Atlanta, Ga.

    DVIDS will post a live stream of the TV portion on the Internet which will be viewable on the III Corps and Fort Hood Facebook page on a town hall tab at facebook.com/forthood.

    Any media network interested in broadcasting it live can download a high definition signal via satellite from DVIDS or post the live stream on their Internet news page. News directors should call DVIDS at (678) 421-6690 for satellite coordinates.
