{"product_id":"the-junior-officer-guidebook-joshua-vigars-9798245397962","title":"The Junior Officer Guidebook: The Book I Wish I Had as a Newly Commissioned Army Officer","description":"This genuinely may be the best book available on the market for junior Army officers. Instead of being written by a senior \/ retired officer, removed from the junior officer cohort by many years, I wrote it as a Captain who was recently a part of this group of officers. I reflected on all the things that I had to learn the hard way or weren't taught during BOLC \/ CCC. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book would've been incredibly helpful to have when I initially commissioned, and it shortens the learning curve for what junior leaders need to learn or know prior to being in the seat - whether that's as a Platoon Leader or as BN Staff. The book includes how-to guides; checklists of doctrine \u0026amp; products to collect; and insights from Company Command, each of the BN S-Shops, Some Special Staff, and Senior NCOs for what junior officers should know before taking a position at their 1st or 2nd unit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book covers: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Advice to Lieutenants\u003cp\u003e- Equipment Maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Army Property\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Evaluations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Advice to Junior Captains\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Career Planning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Command \u0026amp; Staff Insights and Resources\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Other Helpful Resources\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- And other helpful first-hand knowledge from my time as a LT \/ Jr CPT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe intent of this book is to offer a resource to bring junior officers up and to better develop the leaders that future U.S. Army Soldiers deserve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Vigars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245397962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Joshua Vigars","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659724271871,"sku":"9798245397962","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-junior-officer-guidebook-joshua-vigars-9798245397962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
