(U.S. Department of Defense) From the Editor The following themes and deadlines are established: July–September 2021, Theater Intelligence Operations. This issue will focus on theater army-level, regionally focused intelligence capabilities and operations supporting Army and joint forces across the specific regions. Deadline for article submission is 1 May 2021. October–December 2021, Intelligence Disciplines. This issue will focus on new, critical, and refocused aspects of the intelligence disciplines and complementary intelligence capabilities. Deadline for article submission is 1 July 2021. January–March 2022, Targeting and Intelligence. This issue will focus on how intelligence operations are evolving to support the delivery of lethal and nonlethal effects against intended targets. Deadline for article submission is 21 September 2021. Although MIPB targets quarterly themes, you do not need to write an article specifically to that theme. We publish non-theme articles in most issues, and we are always in need of new articles on a variety of topics. For us to be a successful professional bulletin, we depend on you, the reader. Please call or email me with any questions regarding article submissions or any other aspects of MIPB. We welcome your input and suggestions. Tracey A.
