The independent international defence community magazine

Edited by defence expert Mike Dewar, The Officer is the only independent magazine for serving and retired officers of the three armed services: Army, Navy and Airforce. Distributed at home and abroad, on land or at sea, we have ensured that The Officer has followed the British armed forces, wherever deployed, both in peacetime and in war since 1998. Such is the quality of editorial that the MoD has granted one special status

under Queen’s Regulations for the clearance of sensitive issues. The Officer is independent, does not necessarily tow the party line and can be outspoken with issues close to the heart   of its audience. The Officer is clearly styled with articles from the factual to the hilarious and with images created by world class photographers and illustrators. A stable of

contributors around the globe keep the editorial, news and features comprehensiveand topical. These range from procurement issues and news reports to strategic commentaries and political analysis. Despite cutbacks in the Armed Forces over the years, The Officer goes from strength to strength reporting on their new roles in this increasingly changing world.
