The Army Wants You to Write. Three Soldiers Explain Why

The U.S. Army, from the chief of staff on down, is putting its weight behind getting soldiers to take writing and publishing more seriously as an important part of the profession of arms. From the Harding Project to the revitalization of branch journals to the Line of Departure website (coming this fall) to a special forthcoming issue of Military Review on the topic, there is a lot of energy, action, and momentum behind this. Three soldiers - one non-commissioned officer and two officers - join Ryan to talk about why professional writing is so important for the writing and the solider. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Sgt. 1st Class Leyton Summerlin, Maj. Emily Lopez, and Lt. Col. Zachary Griffiths. The views they express do not represent those of the U.S. Army, the Defense Department, or any part of the U.S. government.

This podcast makes me want to get my thoughts out to my service as well! What are some of the mainstream USMC journals that I could write to?

It's hard to believe that anyone would think there's nothing to learn from the Ukraine war. I could write a book on what we can learn, and I'm not even in the Army anymore! Maybe the Harding Project should open enrollment to veterans... ;)
