The Canadian Army Journal (CAJ) (Template:Lang-fr)[1] is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Canadian Army in English and French. It was established in 1947.

History

The journal was established in 1947 with Jack G. DeProse as founding editor-in-chief.[2] Preceded by the Canadian Army Training Memorandum which was published from 1941 to 1947, it ceased publication in June 1965 amidst reform within the Department of National Defence seeking to unify the journals of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The journal was effectively succeeded in 1980 by the Canadian Army Doctrine Bulletin, which was revamped into the Army Doctrine and Training Bulletin in August 1998. Under Shane Schreiber, the journal returned to its original name in 2004.[2] Andrew Godefroy was the most recent editor-in-chief.[3] In the Spring 2015 issue of the CAJ, Godefroy announced Major Chris Young as the next Editor-in-Chief.[4]
