I need the name of the individual who is head of marketing for the US
Armed Forces.  This would be the person responsible primarily for
recruiting - tv commercials, uncle sam posters, etc.  Contact info
(phone and e-mail) would be a plus.

Hello,

Each service contracts out its own advertising.

These are fine, with the exception of the Marine Corps.  The number
goes to a generic voice mail box.

Sorry about that. Try (703) 784-9400, as seen at
(https://web.mcrc.usmc.mil/mcrc.htm). That's the number for the head
office of MCRC. For the marketing section, try (703) 784-9433.
