Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Reading List
The 18th Chairman’s Reading List
While there have been some attempts to update the CJCS Reading List since 2012, when this version was produced, it seemed to be little more than efforts to put something new there. So, for now, we will stick with General Dempsey’s version. The books were selected to capture the values and ethos of our military profession, promote innovative thinking to prepare for the operational realities of an uncertain future, and provide insights into the foundations of our service cultures.
