CSA's Article of the Year!

Why have articles of the month when you can have them for the whole year

Sep 23, 2025

ICYMI, we are hiring! Please see our job posting for a new Director and Deputy Director for the Harding Project.

Applications are due no later than 3 October 2025.

Today, we are pleased to announce the Chief of Staff of the Army’s 2025 Articles of the Year!

General George selected four Articles of the Year from among 427 Branch journal articles published through the Line of Departure website. These include articles from journals managed by Army Branches and Centers of Excellence, such as Infantry, NCO Journal, Special Warfare Journal, Pulse of Army Medicine, Army Sustainment, and others.

This selection rate averages out to .94% when including the additional 100s (1000s?) of articles published in other outstanding outlets to include the Modern War Institute, Military Review, War Room, War on the Rocks, From the Green Notebook, Irregular Warfare Initiative, and The Center for Junior Officers.

Effectively, these articles are not just the best pieces from Line of Departure, but they standout among a sea of fantastic publications across dozens of outlets.

Articles of the Year is a distilled version of the CSA’s Articles of the Month where General George selects 3-5 articles each month to highlight. This brings the 2025 total to 31 articles recognized for their excellence and contribution to the profession over the past year. Authors of Articles of the Month have included Soldiers ranging from the rank of Sergeant to Colonel alongside several civilians. If you follow our AoM, you will recognize these submissions!

Huge congratulations to the authors below whose exceptional contribution to the profession of arms has had an impact from the CSA and SMA down to individual units and Soldiers across the Army.

Strengthen the profession. Keep writing!
