The Canadian Army Journal (French: Le Journal de l’Armée du Canada)[1] abbreviated as CAJ, is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Canadian Army in English and French. It was established in 1947.
History[edit]
The journal was established in 1947 with Jack G. DeProse as founding editor-in-chief.[2] Preceded by the Canadian Army Training Memorandum, which was published monthly from 1941 to 1947, the journal ceased publication in June 1965 amidst reform within the Department of National Defence seeking to unify the journals of the Canadian Armed Forces. In 1965 the Canadian Army Journal, the Navy's The Crowsnest and the Air Force's The Roundel were merged to form the Canadian Forces Sentinel, which changed its name to simply Sentinel in 1973 and ceased publication in 1994.
The current Canadian Army Journal was preceded from 1980 to 1993 by the "roughly biannual" Canadian Army Doctrine Bulletin.[2] Originally titled the Army Doctrine and Training Bulletin, the army's own quarterly journal was relaunched in August 1998 and returned to its historic name in 2004.
