Established in 2026, the Journal of Applied Security Strategy (JASS) is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to elevating the scholarship and strategic perspectives of the senior enlisted force. Published by the 9L Association, Inc. through its School of Advanced International Policy, JASS serves as a premier venue for analyzing the complex intersection of operational experience and global policy.
The journal recognizes that today's security environment requires a total-force, intellectual approach. JASS provides a platform for the enlisted force and those who study its impact, translating critical tactical and operational realities into strategic insights.
The Journal of Applied Security Strategy maintains an inclusive editorial policy designed to foster a comprehensive dialogue on international security:
Enlisted Scholarship: The journal is open to any NCO or PO to publish scholarship on any topic of their choosing related to global security, geopolitics, or military policy, ranging from technical advancements to theoretical frameworks.
Strategic Enlisted Analysis: JASS welcomes contributions from any author, including commissioned officers, academics, and policy experts, on topics that specifically analyze the role, influence, and impact of NCOs in global security and geopolitics.
By focusing on geopolitics, global security strategy, and strategic military affairs, the Journal of Applied Security Strategy addresses the evolving challenges of the 21st-century security landscape. The journal aims to formalize the "Enlisted Scholar" by amplifying the voices of those with critical operational experience and offering the strategic community perspectives often overlooked in traditional academic circles.
