Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute

As an Air Force officer, I envy this magazine. It's got a definite nautical emphasis, but the other services aren't neglected. Without a doubt the best single thing going in print for understanding the current policies/thought/developments in doctrine and technology of the US military.

It should be stressed that the USNI magazine "Proceedings" is NOT officially connected with the US Government in any way. As it says on the cover, the USNI is "the Independent Forum on National Defense"

From Proceedings you can get detailed articles on current naval technology and trends, plus points of view on military issues that would NOT be welcome in the halls of the Pentagon, but are at the same time presented with professionalism and due respect for all concerned. The articles are written by formerly and currently serving officers and enlisted military people who are mostly sea service people (Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines), and by civilians with pertinent backgrounds and specific area expertise. It is filled with always up to date, and sometimes contentious, articles and opinion pieces making it one of the most valued magazines in my reading bins.
