In addition, the Graduate Research Assistant Program raises awareness of CMH and Army history in the academic community, increases the quality and quantity of external scholarship devoted to Army history, and creates a pool of doctoral graduates with relevant experience and expertise that enhances CMH’s ability to select well-qualified individuals when filling future civil service or contract billets.

Services to Field Programs Directorate include assisting with preparation for and conduct of oral histories, researching and preparing lineage and honors certificates, researching and writing information papers, and answering historical inquiries. Services to Museums Directorate include researching the history related to artifacts and developing written content in support of museums exhibits.
