DEFENCE MANAGEMENT JOURNAL

DMJ is distributed quarterly in both hard copy and digital formats to members of the armed forces, civil servants, industry leaders and the broader international defence community.

Issue 53 focuses on the future of the UK Military Covenant with articles from Gemma Doyle, Shadow Minister for Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, and the Forces Pension Society.

The impact of MoD structural reform features very strongly and DMJ presents an exclusive interview with David Olney, COO of the new Defence Infrastructure Organisation, as well as an article from DIO's Chief Executive Andrew Manley.

We also address the pressing issue of the rehabilitation of injured personnel with an interview with one of the senior officers in charge of the new Regional Rehabilitation Units, RAF Air Vice-Marshal Chris Morris.

Issue 53 presents very strong international contributions from among others the Combined Maritime Forces HQ in Bahrain and its Director of Operations Captain Tony Aldred, RAN who describes the international efforts to counter piracy across the Gulf region. We also field articles from the Czech Republic MoD, Norway's Secretary of State for Defence, Sweden's procurement agency FMV, and NATO's logistics support agency NAMSA.

Internationally resources are increasingly being focussed towards countering the threat of cyber attack, and issue 54 publishes the first in series of articles from NATO's Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre based in Tallinn, Estonia. There are also contributions from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute on biological warfare prevention and an interview revealing some of the latest developments in electronic mobile forensics.
