Here are some specialized databases you can use to find journal and periodical articles related to military history.

Military & Government Collection
This database contains journal and magazine articles as well as full-text reports and other resources related to military history, government, politics, and law.
EBSCO has made changes to the database previously entitled Military Library FullTEXT. The database, now known as Military and Government Collection, has been enhanced with added content. EBSCO has also given the database a sharper focus to better meet the needs of its users in military and non-military government libraries.
