Army audiobooks on the CAR

ARMY AUDIOBOOKS GIVE ACCESS TO DOCTRINE AND OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS ANYWHERE

Mobile Publications Division develops hardcopy books into smart, professionally edited and read audiobooks that Soldiers can take anywhere, available on their personal smartphones and tablets. Historically, doctrine has been published in books and softcover manuals. By adopting the new audiobook medium, it’s yet another way Army learning is modernizing. In the last decade, mainstream publishers and studios have found a figurative gold mine in audio fiction. In 2019 The Audio Publishers Association released figures showing that more people are listening to audiobooks regardless of demographic. Retailers like Audible have been developing their own original content to take advantage of the trend. The US Army audiobooks also provide the primary thing that made the audiobook marketplace explode: convenience.

Mosul Study Group Banner

The Mosul Study Group Interactive Publication “What The Battle for Mosul Teaches the Force”

After a brutal nine-month campaign to liberate Mosul from the Islamic State, Iraqi security forces (ISF) retook Iraq’s second largest city. This battle was the largest conventional land battle since the capture of Baghdad by coalition forces in 2003 and the first sustained urban operation involving U.S. forces since the 1968 Battle of Hue. The purpose of this piece is to provide immediate impressions of Operation EAGLE STRIKE that may or should directly impact the Army and how it approaches future conflicts in an engaging format for students in order to better prepare them for future combat operations.
