Subscribe or read directly at substack.militaryresearchgroup.com. Existing NCO-focused writing remains part of the archive while the publication expands into the broader MRG research portfolio.
The writing platform supports shorter and more immediate work than a book or formal historical publication. It is particularly useful for Army leadership discussion, institutional-development analysis, emerging historical interpretations, archival discoveries, research problems, field notes, and essays tied to current projects.
It also provides a place to expose work in progress while preserving the distinction between documented evidence, interpretation, and unresolved questions.
