What Army officer branch does public affairs fall under?
I’ve been searching, and it’s probably civil affairs, but some aspects of the adjutant general corps and even psyops sound similar. The goarmy website does not specify.
It appears to be a functional area for officers already fully qualified in their branch.

Well their Officer MOS is 46 so that makes it specific to their own branch and training. So I doubt they are connected with Jag or others.

Public affairs is not a specific branch. It is a functional area / Career Management Field of the AG (Adjutant General). Any officer who is already branch qualified can be the PA. It is usually an additional duty for most officers. http://www.us-army-info.com/pages/branches.html
