Armed Forces Directory was founded on July 20, 2007, by Karen Austin, a former counter-terrorism equipment specialist and daughter of William C. Horn, U.S. Navy Veteran, and retired Baltimore City Homicide Detective. With the deep connection and family history with military and law enforcement, Karen sought to provide a service to military communities, hence the Armed Forces Directory.  

Since the inception of American Publishing, we publish two separate directories, both print and digital, one that is distributed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and one that is distributed at Fort Meade.
