FA Journal Submission Guidelines

The Field Artillery Journal serves as the professional forum of the branch

across all ranks, Marine, Army, and Civilian. We exist to inform on new

developments in the Branch and winning ideas from the field. The FAJ is

seeking articles and short features on past, present, or future programs,

equipment, tactics, techniques, procedures or other issues affecting our

branch. Approximately 40 percent of our readers are company-grade Field

Artillery Soldiers and Marines. The other 60 percent is comprised of more

senior-ranking Redlegs, service members from other branches and services, our

Allies, corporate executives and politicians. We are a total-branch

publication.

What to Submit:

What to Submit:

Article submissions do not have to agree with current doctrine, official

policy or approved techniques or procedures. Ask yourself how the topic is

going to help the artillery community. Only unclassified information can be

published in the FAJ. Articles must promote safe techniques and procedures.

Be accurate, logical and complete in your writing. Submissions must be

clearly written with an evident thesis, no more than 2500 words. Strive to

educate, not impress. A message is most clear when written in simple language, an abundance of adjectives, adverbs and words that the reader will have to look-up detracts from the message. If possible please include

graphics, charts or photographs as separate attached documents to supplement your article.

Preferred Topics:

Counter-fire at the DIV/Corps Level
Targeting
Training at homestation for LSCO
Fires Support Issues within the EUCOM/PACOM AOR

All submissions must be emailed to Director@fieldartillery.org with the subject line FAJ Article Submission. Please email submission in an attached word doc format. DO NOT place images or graphics in to the word document, send them as attachments in .jpeg, .png, .pdf, or .eps files. Include footnotes where appropriate, though we may not publish them with the article. Also include a short biography, highlighting the experience that makes you credible as an author on that subject. Include your name, email address, and phone number so that we may contact you with follow-up questions.

The USFAA Staff reserves the right to edit an article and put it in the magazines style and format. If you have questions on themes, subject matter or publication deadlines, please call 580-355-4677.
