The Fort Leavenworth Lamp is a digital newspaper serving the military community living at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas since 1971. It serves as a record for activities on base, including the history of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks located on the Army post.[2] It was originally a 20-page tabloid run as a “civilian enterprise." A civilian contractor sold advertisements to cover costs and profit while the fort’s Public Affairs Office provided the paper’s content.[3][4] The paper's last weekly print edition was published on May 26, 2022, and it has been online-only ever since.[5] In September 2023, ownership was transferred to the base.[5]
