I love the idea of this. I spent a ton of time reading while in the Army. It’s these ideas that propel the features on my site and app at milnerva[dot]com. I’m trying to make the doctrine as consumable as possible with chat with PDFs using AI and I’m rolling out flashcards soon that cover the entire publication. Would love to get more ideas on how to make it better.

I love the premise of this article. I think it can only be a good thing to have books and journals readily available at the unit, regardless of echelon. All it takes is for a small number of people to become readers and for positive change to take place.

Really appreciate your mentioning reading not having to be limited to professional reading. My personal interest in reading didn't take off until I stopped forcing myself to read manuals exclusively. I do think it can be a difficult ask for younger Soldiers and leaders though; so much of our lifestyles revolve around digital media now, and we seem to have so little time.
