The Officer Profession: Strategic Awareness – Military: Open Source

"Built on the principle that open competition improves the quality of ideas, 'War Room' features innovative and provocative articles and podcasts that explore significant challenges in national security and defense. 'War Room' is the online journal of the United States Army War College, created through the gracious support of the U.S. Army War College Foundation. Although it is a publication of the U.S. Army War College, 'War Room' is not just for the Army community. It seeks a broad audience of well-informed readers and listeners interested in national security and defense."

The Modern War Institute (MWI) at West Point is a national resource within the Department of Military Instruction that studies recent and ongoing conflicts to prepare present and future leaders to win in a complex world. Leveraging the intellectual capital unique to West Point, MWI faculty use a research, educate, and integrate model to remain academically grounded, operationally connected to the force, and fully engaged with cadets and the military program curriculum. As such, MWI directly enhances the quality of cadet military education and training through scholarship, multi-disciplinary contemporary battlefield assessments, symposia, curriculum update and relevancy, academy outreach, and strategic communications.

Texas National Security Review
“‘Horns of a Dilemma’ is a new series brought to you by the ‘Texas National Security Review,’ featuring the leaders and thinkers based at the University of Texas or who stop in to share their wisdom.”

War on the Rocks is a platform for analysis, commentary, debate and multimedia content on foreign policy and national security issues through a realist lens. It features articles and podcasts produced by an array of writers with deep experience in these matters: top notch scholars who study war, those who have served or worked in war zones, and more than a few who have done it all.

"Join Ryan Evans as he speaks with soldiers, spies, officials, and scholars on a range of issues related to strategy, defense, and foreign affairs. Often recorded at bars in Washington and other world capitals, the original War on the Rocks podcast is for people who want to stay informed, with a drink in hand."

"Bombshell brings together Radha Iyengar Plumb, Loren DeJonge Schulman, and Erin Simpson to unpack the craziest national security and defense issues while debating the best cocktails known to (wo)man. Come for the explainers on the week’s international crises and defense wonk obsessions, stay for the pop-culture references and surprise guests. Process is our valentine."

"What happens when a libertarian, a conservative hawk, and a constitutional powers specialist walk into a podcast studio? ‘Net Assessment’ happens. Welcome to the hottest new national security podcast hosted by Melanie Marlowe, Christopher Preble, and Bryan McGrath. This is a show about competing visions of America’s role in the world. In each episode, they will be discussing a featured article, airing their grievances, and giving attaboys."

"Winston Churchill once remarked: 'To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.' Brad Carson, a former senior defense official and congressman, hosts ‘Jaw-Jaw’ — an interview series on the world’s greatest geopolitical challenges. Each season focuses on a different challenge and features interviews with the top thinkers and leaders working on that challenge. Our first season is on China. As with all War on the Rocks podcasts, 'Jaw-Jaw' is produced by Tre Hester."
