Is anyone familiar with the approval process to interview soldiers for publication?

I am working on my dissertation for my doctorate. My advisor mentioned that I would need Army approval along with my IRB review. I assume this would come from S2. Is anyone familiar with this process, who needs to approve it, if its a memo or something else. Really any leads. My S2 didn't know and the IRB board didn't exactly either. They simply said they heard of people publishing as a government employee and getting in trouble. I assume this is to prevent SI from getting out or some other.

Usually requests of that type go through PAO. They should be able to assist you with your efforts. Good luck on the doctorate!

Have you checked with PAO?
My only other idea would be email the Sergeant Major Academy or War College and ask them. Students at those institutions get publish stuff all the time.

The Army also has an IRB, when I went to inquire I was told to go through University IRB process and get approval first and then to submit it through the Army IRB which will probably fast track it if already approved. But I also had to go through the PAO and they would submit to get a security check on it prior to publication. Military academies have their own separate process and since it is usually not human research can get published with only PAO and security checks.
