Some noteworthy military, intelligence and classification-related publications that have recently been issued include the following (all pdf).

“Joint Operations,” JP 3-0 published on September 17, 2006 by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “reflects the current guidance for conducting joint and multinational activities across the range of military operations.”

“The Iraqi Documents: A Glimpse Into the Regime of Saddam Hussein” was the subject of an April 6, 2006 hearing before the House Committee on International Relations. The hearing transcript has just been published.

“Implementation of New Classification Marking Requirements” is the topic of a May 30, 2006 U.S. Air Force policy memo which is intended to remedy “a widespread lack of consistent and accurate classification markings” identified by the Government Accountability Office in a recent audit.
