As investigative journalists, you may be able to access confidential government documents related to military operations through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA is a law that requires government agencies to provide public access to government documents upon request. You can file a FOIA request with the appropriate agency in order to obtain the desired information. Additionally, you can search online for relevant material using keywords related to the military and any particular conflicts you are researching.

You can try to obtain the documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOIA requests must be submitted in writing, either by mail or electronically, to the relevant government agency. The request must include details about the documents you are seeking, such as their date and subject matter. If the government denies your request, you have the right to appeal that decision. It may also help if you provide a description of why you believe they should provide access to these files.
