Military Review English Edition May-June 2014 | Page 2

Col. Anna R. Friederich-Maggard W MR Spotlight ELCOME to the first ever full-color issue of Military Review. We think color will add a positive dynamic and enhance the quality of our journal. A special thank you to the staff at our Leadership, Development, and Education headquarters for finding a way to fund this endeavor. Our first themed edition (MarchApril) focused on leadership development. This edition is dedicated to cybersecurity and networkcentric warfare. Inside this edition you will find articles on robotic warfare, cyberattacks and the environment, cyberspace operations and the targeting cycle, and other fascinating concepts addressing cyber threats to the United States military. Inside the back cover, you will find a dedication to 24 Medal of Honor recipients from three wars who were honored for their uncommon bravery by President Obama in a ceremony on 18 March. The soldiers, originally awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, were of Hispanic, Jewish, and African-American descent. Their awards were upgraded due to a congressionally mandated review of awards to ensure heroism of veterans was not overlooked due to prejudice or discrimination. We also have some great articles online at our new website addition– Military Review Spotlight. This site provides a platform now to discuss relevant issues and concepts. A new article is posted each week. You can find it at http://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/MilitaryReview/repository/spotlight/ spotlight.asp. There is still time to enter the William E.
