"Remind me. Why would CENTCOM have a Twitter feed? Would there be any connection with PR motives?"

In part. They also use it to keep in contact with their personnel, even when on leave.

Twitter and Facebook were used to alert and inform personnel during the Fort Hood shooting incident, as people off base would not be able to hear Giant Voice (a basewide PA system used for emergencies).

Hell, the CIA and NSA also have Twitter accounts.
