If you’re interested in joining as an officer, the recruiter will explain any options you may be eligible for. The WAR ROOM Editorial team strives to complete the editing process in an efficient, friendly, and helpful manner. Our aim is to do as few rounds of revision as possible, but as many as necessary. For many articles, this may include two or three rounds of revision. Authors are not required to concur with all editorial feedback.
If you live in a different part of the world, here are a few resources to write to servicemembers from your country. Due to everything it includes, the service is not free. Sandboxx charges $4 to send a single letter, but you can save by purchasing multiple letters at once. For example, $60 gets you 20 letters—dropping the price to $3 per letter. On the Where To Send page, you’ll find a list of soldier contacts, sorted by date of last contact, along the left side.
We are interested in your story, article or opinion. Just fill out the form below with your submission and we’ll review it and let you know when and if it gets published. The WAR ROOM managing editor will communicate all such decisions with authors as soon as is practical.
Employees of other government agencies are encouraged to do same. Including such disclaimers speeds the editorial process. If you require that your organization separately review an article, please inform the WAR ROOM editors. We understand that many of the people who submit articles to War on the Rocks closely identify with the United States, its departments of government, and — often — its military. Still, please do not write that “we” should do something when you mean the U.S. government or any of its departments or agencies.
We read each email and regularly answer inside one business day.

We do not accept blog posts from organizations, but we recognize that some milspouses write for multiple websites. For our commentary articles and book reviews, we accept submissions between 800 and 2,500 words. We sometimes solicit pieces longer than 2,500 words, but we do not accept unsolicited submissions that fall outside the 800 to 2,500-word window. Do not send us an article that has been submitted elsewhere unless you have formally withdrawn it. And if you submit to War on the Rocks and later change your mind, tell us before you submit it elsewhere.
Because of the large volume of submissions, we will contact you only if your piece is accepted. If you do not hear from us within three business days, please feel free to submit your article to other publications. Blog Brigade can only exist through the submissions of those who have learned a thing or two in their MilLife and are willing to share with our military community. Follow the adventures of others, and share your own.
