Did Craig Morgan Serve in the Military?

The "Almost Home" singer previously served 17 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve. He was a part of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and held the positions of staff sergeant and fire support specialist including airborne, air assault and rappel master.

When Did Craig Morgan Re-Enlist in the Military?

In July 2023, the "Little Bit of Life" hitmaker re-enlisted on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. He gave his oath in front of a live audience before being sworn back into the Army Reserve.

“I’m excited to once again serve my country and be all I can be in hopes of encouraging others to be a part of something greater than ourselves,” he said in a statement. “I love being an artist, but I consider it a true privilege and honor to work with what I believe are the greatest of Americans, my fellow Soldiers. God bless America. Go Army.”

Craig Morgan's Memoir Details His Military Service

In a partnership with Blackstone Publishing, Morgan released a book detailing his time in the service. God, Family, Country arrived last fall. In that book he shares stories of his military service, like working alongside the CIA as a soldier in Panama and fighting sex traffickers as an undercover agent in Thailand.

Morgan's latest album, appropriately titled Enlisted, was released in Oct. 2023. The collection of songs features collaborations with Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson and a handful of other country singers.
