Task & Purpose

News, culture, and analysis by and for the military community. Talk to us at tips@taskandpurpose.com or slide into our DMs.

Task & Purpose launched in 2014 to provide authentic and unfiltered perspectives on military and veterans issues in the post-9/11 era.

National security touches on just about every aspect of American society, but too often, those who are most responsible for that security get stereotyped, ignored, or misrepresented by the media. Our digital publication gives a voice to the service members, veterans, and military families who know better than anyone else the impact the Global War on Terror has made on our country.

We fulfill our mission through unapologetic investigative reporting, story-telling, and analysis of cultural issues and current affairs.

Task & Purpose’s team of veterans, military family members, and journalists who have covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan can tell the stories of the military and veterans communities — not just because we’re paying attention, but because our personal and professional experiences with conflict compel us.
