In 1934, the Infantry Journal was in disarray. Subscribers had dwindled to less than 4,000 as the “atrociously written articles” and Great Depression made the three-dollar subscription too much for many. Fortunately, Major General Edward Croft, the Chief of Infantry, appointed Major Edwin Harding as editor. Empowered, Harding renewed Infantry.
Today, the United States Army’s professional publications require renewal as Harding renewed Infantry Journal in the 1930s. But renewal requires more with special attention to stewardship, modernization, digital archives, and educating the force.
The Harding Project Substack, taking our name from the US Army’s Harding Project at the Combined Arms Command, supports these efforts as an all-volunteer team who are passionate about writing and professional discourse.
