The program is executed by the Assistant Secretary of War for Legislative Affairs, who coordinates with the military departments to determine office placement. Chosen from numerous high performing applicants, fellows are vetted by their respective services, selecting those whom the departments feel would best represent the military to members of Congress and their staff. Eligible congressional offices are invited to apply for the program in August with a requested response in September and receive notification of selection November through December. Selected fellows begin their work in congressional offices for a period of no longer than one calendar year beginning each January. ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
