The U.S. Army Center of Military History is actively seeking qualified U.S. Army Reserve Captains, Majors or Lieutenant Colonels interested in a two-year assignment as a CMH Historian/Scholar in Residence for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point beginning early summer 2025.

"This is a great opportunity not only for the applicant but also for the future of our Army. To research military history and then teach those lessons to the next generation of leaders studying at an institution like the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is as unique as it gets," said Christopher J.
