Please submit your link to the most specific sub-category possible. Very rarely will a link be added at the Society/Military level. Failure to submit your link to the most specific sub-category possible will likely result in a delay of the site being listed.

If your site contains information specific to one country, please submit it to the Government/Military category of that country.

Sites must be in the English language.

News and Media

Sites providing general military-related news.

Please submit region-specific sites (e.g. US Army news) to the categories listed under Society/Military/News_and_Media/Regional. Region-specific sites will not be accepted in this category.

People

This category is for sites about people involved in the military and their families.

If your site is specific to the military of a particular country, please submit to that country.

For example, for the United States military, find the appropriate subcategory of Regional: North America: United States: Society and Culture: Military.

POW-MIA

This category is for sites about Prisoners of War - Missing In Action (POW-MIA) - both veteran and civilian.

Please submit only those sites that are POW-MIA specific, but not for a specific war. If site is related to a specific war, please submit to the appropriate sub-category.

Veterans

The Veterans category of the ODP offers English language websites with content by and for the veterans of the world's armed forces. A majority of the websites in this category are war veteran related, but websites with content for or by veterans that have never served in combat are also welcome to be submitted here.

1.) Please submit only websites where the main part of the content is for or by military veterans.

2.) Please read the submission guidelines and the description in the subcategory you plan to submit your site to. This will give you a better understanding of the types of websites that should be submitted to that subcategory.

3.) Submit to the correct category. If you have a site that mainly focuses on veterans of the Vietnam War, the correct category would be one of the Vietnam War categories. It can be difficult to find the correct category if your site has a broad scope and parts of your website could fit into several sub categories. If you can''t find a subcategory that would fit your site, you should submit it to a category higher up in the hierarchy tree. For example, you have a website with content for veterans of the Vietnam War, the Korean War and WWII, the right Category for you to submit in would be the main Veterans category, while a site with content only for veterans of the Korean War should be submitted to the Korean War category.

Weapons and Equipment

Sites about various types of weapons and equipment.
