about who they are:
StrategyPage provides quick, easy access to what is going on in
military affairs. We cover armed forces world wide, as well as up to
date reporting on wars and hotspots wherever they may be. All the news
you need, written so that it fits into the time you have for it. The
information is organized logically, with categories for different
weapons systems (armor, artillery, naval aviation, etc.). We also cover
the software of war, often ignored items like leadership, peacetime
operations, intelligence, information warfare and the like. And we keep
the information online, with archives going back to the early 1980s. A
search capability gives you quick access to whatever you need. We put it
all in context with military history, maps, country background and
useful links.

NOTE ON SOURCES: StrategyPage makes use of a wide variety of news and
information sources. Even in this age of the internet wire services
remain the frontline of reporting. Reuters, AP, and UPI are key sources
for breaking news. Agence France Press (AFP) does a particularly fine
job covering Africa (and given France's deep involvement in west and
central Africa, that focus should follow). StrategyPage also draws on
several web-based sources. For example, the Institute for War and Peace
Reporting (IWPR)does a bang up job on the Balkans. Radio Free Europe's
(RFE) various web updates (which cover stories RFE broadcasts) do the
same for eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The Economist
definitely leads the news magazines on quality of international
coverage. StrategyPage mines the "defense and military" press, Janes,
Army, Parameters, Armed Forces Journal - that list goes on to include
several nation-specific publications from non-NATO states. When it comes
to air and missile tech, Aviation Week is still Aviation Leak. The Wall
Street Journal, New York Times, The Sunday London Times, and other major
international newspapers occasionally provide good leads on military
issues. The Washington Times military reporting is very useful, as is
the Stars and Stripes. The Miami Herald's beat is the Caribbean and
South America. The South China Morning Post is a window on China. The
"information net" can draw even finer. For example, The San
Antonio-Express News is a regional U.S. newspaper particularly valuable
for coverage of Mexico and Central America. The proliferation of
websites -from terrorist groups to NGOs to news networks- offers the
analyst a wealth of information. Even when the info is contradictory it
can still be a useful guide to evaluating aims and strategies of
participants in conflicts. Finally, there's "our gang." Over the years
we have assembled an interesting cadre of friends and acquaintances. A
number of them have military or foreign service experience. Many of
these people started out as wargamers- an excellent background for
getting a handle on a developing crisis. These sources are quick with
advice and quick with critique. They've also proven to be reliable. When
they miss, they don't miss by much. And with the proliferation of
internet access and cell phones, we often get reports from our gang
while the bullets are still flying.
