American Intelligence Journal

The American Intelligence Journal is the flagship publication of the NMIA. Now in its fourth decade, the Journal’s focus remains on education and professional development. We seek to augment both the capabilities and the performance of armed forces intelligence operators and their civilian counterparts. 

The legal environment increasingly demands joint, interagency, and coalition approaches to military and homeland security operations. Today, the military intelligence professional must be proficient across traditional and emerging disciplines, missions and functions. NMIA is the only joint military intelligence professional association in the United States. Our American Intelligence Journal offers readers an artful balance between the wisdom of scholars and the street smarts of practitioners.

Intelligence operators need high-caliber reference material, free from an excessive emphasis on methodology and the limited access jargon now so prevalent in the academic press. The Journal is a trusted source. With plain language, we also amplify public understanding of the contributions military intelligence makes to national security and homeland defense.
   
The Journal features leading-edge work by authors throughout the wider Intelligence Community, the armed services, and academia. We have an active dialogue with the National Defense Intelligence College, the National War College, the Senior Service Colleges, and American Military University to review and publish appropriate articles by their faculty and students. Pieces submitted for publication must pass a careful peer review process.

The American Intelligence Journal is presently published twice a year; hardcopies are mailed to NMIA members and subscribers. Selected articles are now available on the NMIA portal. Guidance provided by the Editorial Review Board assures that the Journal retains its unique, instructive, and beneficial place among publications serving the military intelligence community and the American public.

Our editor is NMIA board member, Dr. William C. Spracher. Whether to discuss submission of an article, to suggest a new topic, or simply to offer comment, his door at his home in Fairfax Station or at his office at NDIC in Washington is always open.
