The principal defence publication of the Institute is SITREP, a bi-monthly magazine that allows for the collection of topical, policy-oriented articles on Canada's contemporary security environment. Its brief format allows for concise and very informative articles on a range of important issues, such as US nuclear strategy, regional security dynamics in both the Middle East and Northeast Asia, the threat posed by global terrorist networks and weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and Canadian foreign and defence policy. Distributed to RCMI members and policy-makers, this publication brings critical perspectives on a range of issues by some of the world's top defence analysts. Current Issue :
SITREP, Vol. 65, No. 6 (November/December 2005)
This issue of SITREP begins with an article by Col (Retd) Brian MacDonald on the continuing procurement problems of the Canadian Forces, which are based on his comments to an expert symposium organized by the Senate Committee on National Security. This is followed by an article by David Rudd, Executive Director of the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, on the Multi-mission Effects Vehicle project of the Canadian Forces. We are also fortunate to have Amyas Godfrey, Head of the UK Armed Forces Programme at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI), offer his thoughts on the sustainability of UK forces in Iraq. This issue concludes with an article on American nuclear policy, by noted nuclear weapons expert Hans Kristensen from the Federation of American Scientists, and an article on Chinese naval power projection, by Professor Sunil Ram from American Military University |
