MR

Lt. Col. Erica L. Cameron

Greetings!

A

s the new director of
the Army Press, I look
forward to continuing
to build an organization dedicated
to advancing the ideas and insights
military professionals need to lead and succeed. And, as
the new editor in chief of Military Review, I am proud
to be associated with a publication that has served as a
vehicle for discussion and debate on a wide range of topics
pertinent to the Army and our national defense for over
ninety-four years.
Keeping up with the times, Army Press is working hard
to better serve our readership by modernizing our digital
presence. In the near future Military Review articles, book
reviews, and related content will be more easily discoverable and searchable on our improved web interface and our
social media platforms. Going forward, some products will
only appear online in an effort to improve timeliness and
facilitate real-time discussion on current events and issues.
I encourage you to contribute your suggestions and provide
feedback on how we can best support your needs as military
and national security professionals.

This month’s journal highlights the military implications and challenges associated with human mass migrations—situations like the plight of refugees depicted on our
cover. We begin this issue with an excerpt from Who Are
We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity by Samuel
Huntington, in which he discusses the threat to our national
identity posed by trends in immigration to the United States.
We follow this with “Migration as a Weapon in Theory and
in Practice” by Dr. Kelly Greenhill. Greenhill explores how
some states can engineer human migrations to gain concessions from more powerful countries.
This issue also features the winner of the 2016 General
William E. DePuy Special Topics Writing Competition,
“Transforming Unit Training with the Science of Learning,”
by Capt. Andrew Jenkins. We will publish other notable DePuy articles in subsequent issues of the journal.
Congratulations, Capt. Jenkins!
