SITREP is the journal of analysis and opinion of the RCMI. It appears six times a year and is a digest of current Canadian and international thinking on strategic and international affairs. We are happy to receive and review all submissions.

Now, for the first time, we are proud to introduce SITREPwired, the on-line supplement to our print edition. Contributions are welcomed!

Nathan Flight examines police reform in Afghanistan and Canada's investment in police mentoring. Chris Kilford, our Deputy Defence Attaché to our Ambassador in Kabul, takes us to the Sherpur Cantonment Cemetery in Kabul, where the names of of 43 Canadian soldiers are listed - who lost their lives in and around Kabul between April 2002 and November 2006. The Editor reports on his extended stay in Baku, Azerbaijan. Eugene Lang and Eric Morse posit that our political leadership owes Canadians a conversation about the military as an instrument of Canada's foreign policy. Trudy Kearns, our resident War Artist, presents an interesting perspective on war art.
