Journal Information

The American Intelligence Journal is the flagship publication of the NMIA. Now in its fourth decade, the Journal's focus remains on education and professional development. We seek to augment both the capabilities and the performance of armed forces intelligence operators and their civilian counterparts. The legal environment increasingly demands joint, interagency, and coalition approaches to military and homeland security operations. Today, the military intelligence professional must be proficient across traditional and emerging disciplines, missions, and functions. NMIA is the only joint military intelligence professional association in the United States. Our American Intelligence Journal offers readers an artful balance between the wisdom of scholars and the street smarts of practitioners.
