History

edit

The journal first adopted its current name in 1947 with Jack G. DeProse as the founding editor-in-chief.[2] Preceded by the Canadian Army Training Memorandum (an English-only publication published monthly from 1941 to 1947), the bilingual army journal ceased publication in June 1965 amidst reform within the Department of National Defence seeking to unify the periodical publications of the Canadian Armed Forces. In 1965 the Canadian Army Journal, the Navy's The Crowsnest and the Air Force's The Roundel were merged to form the Canadian Forces Sentinel, which changed its name to simply Sentinel in 1973 and then ceased publication in 1994.

The current Canadian Army Journal was preceded from 1980 to 1993 by the "roughly biannual" Canadian Army Doctrine Bulletin.[2] The army's own quarterly bilingual journal was officially relaunched as the Army Doctrine and Training Bulletin in August 1998 and then returned to its historic name in 2004.
