Welcome to the Commander's Reading Room

Continuous learning is a cornerstone of our readiness and community strength. This reading list is curated by the Col. James T. Horne III, Space Launch Delta 30 commander, to foster professional growth, historical awareness, and personal resilience.

Whether you are an active duty service member refining your leadership skills, a government civilian seeking broader strategic context, a family member navigating military life, or a retiree reflecting on our shared history, these selections are intended to challenge your thinking and broaden your perspective.

We encourage you to use these recommendations as a starting point for self-study, team discussions, and lifelong education.
