Army Sustainment Author Submission Guidelines

We are always looking for quality articles to share with the Army sustainment community. If you are interested in submitting an article to Army Sustainment Professional Bulletin (ASPB), please follow these guidelines:

  • Ensure your article is appropriate to the publication’s subjects, which include Army logistics, human resources, medical operations, and financial management.
  • Ensure that the article’s information is technically accurate.
  • Download the OPSEC review form and have it completed by your public affairs office. We also encourage you to compare your article against your unit’s critical information list.
  • Do not assume that those reading your article are Soldiers or that they have background knowledge of your subject; ASPB’s readership is broad.
  • Write your article specifically for ASPB. If you have submitted your article to other publications, please let us know at the time of submission.
  • Keep your writing simple and straightforward.
  • Attribute all quotes to their correct sources.
  • Identify all acronyms, technical terms, and publications. For example: Field Manual (FM) 4-0, Sustainment Operations. However, do not establish an acronym if the acronym is not used again in the article. In the above example, there would be no need to establish FM as an acronym if it does not appear again in the article.
  • Maximum article length is 2,500 words. A more ideal length is in the 1,200–1,500 range.

Review past issues of the publication; they will be your best guide as you develop your article.

Submitting an Article:

  • Submit your article and signed forms by email to armysustainment@army.mil.
  • Submit the article as a simple Microsoft Word document — not in layout format. We will determine the layout for publication.
  • If you have questions about these requirements, please contact us at armysustainment@army.mil or (804) 765-3113.

Submitting Images:

Editorial Policy:

The primary intent of ASPB is to support the professional development of U.S. Army personnel in the sustainment warfighting function by providing a professional information forum for a wide variety of professional development information focused on the Army sustainment enterprise.

ASPB content:

The content of ASPB directly supports the mission of U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM) as the Sustainment Center of Excellence with proponency for all sustainment branches, as established in Army Regulation 5-22, The Army Force Modernization Proponent and Integration System.

Typical content for ASPB includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Technological developments in sustainment.
  • Sustainment strategy, tactics, techniques, and procedures.
  • Sustainment focused how-to pieces.
  • Practical exercises.
  • Training methods for sustainment.
  • Historical perspectives.
  • Monographs and summaries of sustainment-focused research papers.
  • Views and opinions concerning sustainment.
  • Short biographies of authors to demonstrate professional credentials.
  • Short bulletin-type items summarizing official Army actions that directly relate to sustainment.

Items that are not appropriate for publication in ASPB (and that will not be published) are:

  • General personnel information not specifically related to sustainment. This information is usually available through command information and official channels.
  • Routine personnel items, such as listing graduates of courses, promotions, and awards.
  • General military-related news articles that do not have significant professional development value for the sustainment community.
  • Letters to the editor commenting on the quality of the bulletin or other matters that do not contribute to the mission of CASCOM.
  • Personality-type articles, except for those that have historical significance.
  • Articles, photographs, or other materials that promote self-aggrandizement of an Army or non-Army individual, group, or institution.

ASPB publishes approximately 20 articles per quarter in the PDF edition of ASPB and as individual articles on army.mil and our social media pages. ASPB serves the entire sustainment community and strives to have a variety of content that represents the professional development needs of the entire sustainment warfighting function. ASPB also strives to provide a variety of content that addresses all levels of military operations and aims to have an even mixture of strategic, operational, and tactical level content.
