About Us

Military.com is the leading news and information website for U.S. service members, veterans and their families. Our award-winning newsroom delivers critical daily news along with in-depth investigations on issues that impact the military community, while our benefits and veterans' employment resources teams provide the tools and information to support our readers before, during and after their and their loved ones' military service.

Our website is the most-read military news and information site globally, while our newsletters reach more than 2 million readers a month.

Our newsroom, the largest covering the U.S. military in the world, has been honored with the top awards for reporting on the military community, including the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on National Defense and the Joe Galloway Award, presented by Military Reporters and Editors. That work has yielded countless changes to military policy to help protect and assist service members, veterans and their families.

Our passion for informing and serving as a watchdog for the military community is deeply embedded in our publication, with a majority of our staff made up of veterans, retirees, military spouses and spouses of veterans. Half of our reporting team served in the military, including three veterans who have received Military Veterans in Journalism's Top Vets in Journalism Award.

Whether it's previously undisclosed health risks tied to service, abuse at military base child care centers, pay changes, Tricare developments, PCS information or Department of Veterans Affairs-related issues, we know these concerns because we've lived them and we bring that experience to everything we share with our readers.

Military.com was founded in 1999 by a veteran who simply wanted to be able to navigate the world of defense information and benefits in a more streamlined and efficient way. Today, we honor that goal by always remembering who we serve and why.
