Like the original movie, this sequel was made with the close cooperation of the Department of Defense Entertainment Media Office. In a May 2022 Washington Post article titled "'Top Gun,' Brought to You by the U.S. Military," Theo Zenou reports: "Top Gun: Maverick received support from the Department of Defense (DOD) in the form of equipment-including jets and aircraft carriers-personnel and technical expertise. This was authorized by the DOD Entertainment Media Office, which assists filmmakers telling military stories. 'We've been in existence almost 100 years,' said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Glen Roberts, who leads the office. 'We actually assisted the very first movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture.' That movie was Ali (1927), drama about World War I fighter pilots." Roberts claimed that (unlike with the first movie, for which the DoD significantly changed certain plot aspects to make them more sympathetic to the military) his office did not make any narrative changes to the Top Gun: Maverick script: "These days, when collaborating on a movie, the Pentagon can still demand script rewrites out of concern for veracity. But Roberts said he doesn't meddle in the artistic process. 'When I get a script, I don't change the story,' he said. 'I may say this isn't authentic or this is wrong.' Roberts said he keeps four criteria in mind: security (the film shouldn't give away state secrets), accuracy (it should depict training and combat accurately), policy (the characters should adhere to DOD rules), and propriety (the film must protect the privacy of military personnel and their families). 'I've had people say to me, "Oh, you guys, you tell people how to run their movies,"' Roberts added. 'I would tell you: Good luck telling Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan or Michael Bay how to run their movie! I don't think that's going to go over very well.'"
