The Basic School (TBS) Research Guide

The 14th edition of the Marine Corps University Communications Style Guide establishes a consistent style of writing adapted from The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), 17th edition. In the guide, you will find information regarding CMOS citation practices, grammar and punctuation rules, and appropriate formatting of charts, graphs, and tables. This condensed, user-friendly reference also provides you with guidance on the use of civilian academic and professional military styles in research and writing, which makes the guide an asset to students and faculty university-wide.

The Naval War College (NWC) Pocket Writing and Style Guide is provided as an additional resource for MCU researchers, faculty, staff and students. This writing and style guide is a quick reference guide that complements both A Writer’s Reference, seventh edition, edited by Diana Hacker and Nancy Sommers, and The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), seventeenth edition.
