This issue comprises a range of quality contributions, including letters to the editor, Dr Brendan Nelson's speech as the inaugural presentation in the Defence Mental Health Speaker Series and Anne Goyne's essay on the difficult question of ADF suicide. We also present the keynote speeches from the RAN's Sea Power Conference, held in Sydney in early October, by Vice Admiral Tim Barret, Major General Kathryn Toohey, Air Marshal Leo Davies and Vice Admiral David Johnston.
This issue also includes a range of general articles, a commentary piece on modernising the Australian Army within the joint force, reviews and an obituary of Roger J Spiller. The Board has selected the article by Lieutenant Colonel Leon Young, titled 'The Conservative Colonel: how being creative killed your career in the ADF', as the best article in this issue. He will receive a certificate signed personally by the Chief of the Defence Force and the Secretary of the Department of Defence. The Board also 'highly commended' the article by Major David Cave on Operation COMPASS, who will receive a similar certificate.
