Joint Force Quarterly
NDU Press produces Joint Force Quarterly (JFQ) in concert with ongoing education and research at National Defense University in support of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. JFQ serves as a platform for the joint military and security community to exchange ideas and foster dialogue on joint and integrated operations, strategy, and tactics. The journal was established at NDU in collaboration with General Colin Powell, with his explicit intention to showcase controversy, original writing, debate, an edge, and Joint Force parochialism.
