The National Defense University (NDU) is pleased to announce the debut of PRISM, a complex operations journal. PRISM will explore, promote, and reinforce emerging thought and best practices as civilian capacity increases to address challenges in stability, reconstruction, security, counterinsurgency, and irregular warfare operations. PRISM complements Joint Force Quarterly, the NDU flagship publication for 16 years.

PRISM is tailored to serve policy-makers, scholars and practitioners working to enhance U.S. Government competency in complex operations by exploring whole-of-community approaches among U.S. Government agencies, academic institutions, international governments and militaries, non-governmental organizations and other participants in the complex operations space.

PRISM is chartered by the Center for Complex Operations (CCO) and will be published four times a year. It welcomes articles on a broad range of complex operations issues, especially those that focus on the nexus of civil-military integration. PRISM will be published online and in hardcopy, and will debut in November 2009. PRISM will be supported by an interactive Web site that allows readers to search past issues, submit manuscripts, provide subject matter feedback, and post letters to the editor.
