As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you for your incredible support and engagement since the relaunch of our website on Veterans Day 2024. This relaunch marked an exciting new chapter for Small Wars Journal, and over the past month, the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our readers has reinforced the importance of our shared mission: advancing the discourse at the speed of relevance. Your encouragement, thoughtful comments, and continued readership inspire us to strive for even greater heights in the coming year.
As we prepare to celebrate the holiday season, we will be taking a short publishing break from December 21, 2024, to January 6, 2025. During this time, our team will step back to recharge, reflect on the past year, and prepare for the exciting initiatives we have planned for 2025. We won’t be publishing new articles during this period, but we will still be actively accepting submissions. If you’ve been considering sharing your insights, research, or perspectives, this is the perfect time to submit your work.
Looking back on this year, we’re proud of the robust discussions sparked by recent featured articles and the dynamic contributions from authors and readers alike. Highlights such as “Taiwan Resilience and Resistance Operating Concept” by Jeremiah “Lumpy” Lumbaca (Our #1 article for most reads), “Proxy is Not a Pejorative” by Amos Fox, and “Prosecuting Putin’s Proxies: How Prosecutions are Reshaping the Fight against Russian Irregular Forces” by Candace Rondeaux are just a few examples of the high-caliber content our community produces and supports. As we move forward, we are committed to maintaining this standard of excellence and continuing to provide a platform for the critical conversations that shape the future of irregular warfare and beyond.
This holiday season, we also encourage you to stay connected with us. Follow us on social media for updates, thought-provoking content, and reminders about our initiatives, including exclusive benefits for paid members like ad-free viewing and early access to select articles. If you’re not already subscribed, consider joining our membership program to support our mission and gain access to these perks.
As we pause for the holidays, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to you, our readers, for making Small Wars Journal the vibrant and impactful community it is today. Your engagement fuels our passion for this work, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the new year.
On behalf of the entire Small Wars Journal team, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful holiday season. We’ll be back in January, ready to continue this journey with you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jan Gleiman
