In an effort to provide faster and easier access to current Department of Defense news and information, DoD announced today a new mobile-device-friendly format, available at the new Web address http://www.DoD.mil/mobile .

The new format is condensed and customized for use with cell phones, blackberrys and other mobile devices.

"Offering DoD.mil/mobile is another way we are trying to better serve our globally-based audiences, providing them with the most up-to-date news and information on the war on terror and other related activity," said Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs (internal communication & public liaison).

This enhancement to DoD news and information is designed to better serve DoD audiences while on the go.
