MR

Col. Anna R. Friederich-Maggard

W

e are excited to
share this edition
of Military Review,
dedicated to strategic landpower.
This concept will be at the forefront of military operations as the
nation continues moving forward
into this century. Included is an article co-written by
former commanding general of U.S. Army Training
and Doctrine Command Gen. Robert W. Cone,
U.S. Army, Retired, giving 12 principles for strategic
leadership, and an innovative piece about cadets in
strategic landpower by Lt. Col. Adrian Bogart and
Capt. J.D. Mohundro.
This edition reprints an article by the late Honorable
Ike Skelton, in memoriam and as a prologue to the
rededication of Fort Leavenworth’s Combined Arms
Research Library as the Ike Skelton Combined Arms
Research Library. Congressman Skelton was a member
of the U.S. House of Representatives (D), representing
Missouri’s 4th Congressional District from 1977 to
2011. He was the ranking member on the House Armed
Services Committee. Congressman Skelton wrote several articles for Military Review over the years.

This edition also boasts a book review essay by
Joseph Miller, of Rape in Wartime, edited by Raphaelle
Branche and Babrice Virgili. Miller pulls no punches
when summarizing the book and linking it to the military’s highly publicized efforts to prevent sexual assault
and to encourage cultural reform among the ranks. Be
sure to peruse the other book reviews starting on page
87, as readers provide analyses of contemporary readings for the military professional.
We bid farewell to two of Military Review’s finest—Ms. Marlys “Kelly” Cook, our Managing Editor,
and Ms. Nancy Mazzia, our Book Review and Features
Editor. Both retired, having a combined total of 80
years of federal service. Kelly and Nancy played an
integral role in making Military Review the esteemed
journal it is today and keeping the Military Review
family strong. We will miss both and wish them the
best as they enjoy retirement.
The staff at Military Review appreciates your continued support and contributions as it evolves to meet
the requirements of the 21st century. Please check us
out on Facebook, Twitter or on our website at http://

a great summer, and we will see you this fall!

Congratulations on retirement and thanks for your service!
