Moody Air Force Base officials are not releasing the names or photographs of two missing Afghan trainees.
Capt. Korey Fratini said Wednesday the decision to not release the names is a U.S. Air Force decision and not one that has been made by the base commander.
"It is a matter of policy," Fratini told The Valdosta Daily Times.
The Air Force has maintained a policy of not releasing the names or images of any Afghan personnel in the interest of their personal safety and the safety of their families back in Afghanistan, the captain said.
Fratini said the fact the two men are missing and being sought by federal and local law-enforcement agencies has not changed the military's position.

Images have circulated on social media with claims they came from the Lanier County public school system.
Fratini emphasized that Moody officials did not share the photos with the school system and that photographs were only sent to law enforcement.
A Lanier County school official confirmed sending out an email with the images in hopes of finding the men, and also said the Air Force contacted school officials after the email had been sent telling them to stop sharing the information.
The captain said the concerns of The Valdosta Daily Times regarding the public's right and need to know as much information as possible has been shared up the chain of command.

Gee, captain, that's kinda tough to do when nobody else knows their names or what they look like, and since profiling is out of the question.
Hmmmm, it has been a couple of days sense these guys have gone missing. Maybe they joined up with a terrorist cell? That would be another way to get into the country.
I believe they already WERE/ARE in the country. Working in Georgia at AF base. ??
They’re both named Mohammed Hussein.
My my, you’re handy to have around.
They’ve been incommunicado since Friday, and AWOL since Monday.
At first the base was pretending that these guys just got a little carried away with their sightseeing and “forget” to report for duty.
Seems like it might be something else. I’m sure glad we taught these guys how to fly planes.
Hussein wants to make sure his muzzie bros get away and join their terror cell before we can start looking for them.
I aim to please!
Can we “Shoot on sight”? That would make it a lot more fun!
Were they properly “vetted?” That makes such a difference....
Here we go again. Who has to die horribly to stop this sh*t? Will it be you or me? It won’t be Lindsay Graham, Obama or Harry Reid, I know that...
Names: Dirga Dirga and Mohammed Jihad.
That wasn’t so hard.
And when they hijack an airliner we can all ask the $64,000 question
What on erf radicalized these piecefool moozlym boys?
Two trained pilots,acting under duress
can do a LOT of damage
Look, none of us like Jeb. In fact, we disdain him. But he was right in one thing: his brother protected us after 9/11. This president has murdered many people in his own country.
Chances are they changed their names to Gonzales and are working at a car wash in Billings, MT. Who would want to go back to Afghanistan after they’ve seen WalMart?
LOL!
Oh, clearly Trump radicalized them. Trump's hateful attacks drove these peaceful guys over the edge. It just couldn't be helped.
