USMC Civil Affairs - The Prince (http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2008/02/usmc-civil-affairs-the-prince/) by SWJ Editors
Here's the 1st edition (http://www.smallwarsjournal.com/documents/theprince1.pdf) of The Prince: A Newsletter for Civil Affairs Marines.
The purpose of this newsletter is to increase awareness of people, issues, and events affecting the Marine Civil Affairs community. It is an informal publication, and it does not represent the policies and positions of the Marine Corps or the United States Government...etc, etc, etc.
The title references the work by Niccolo Machiavelli, as a continual reminder that civil-military operations are essentially political in nature: actions to influence or exploit relations with Civil Actors in order to accomplish the mission--not gratuitous, goodwill gestures to “win hearts and minds.”
This 1st edition includes A New Goldwater-Nichols Act, Navy Civil Affairs School Open for Business, Keys to a Successful KV Network, 56th Annual Civil Affairs Conference, Tip of the Day and Quote of the Day.
The 2nd edition (http://www.smallwarsjournal.com/documents/theprince2.pdf) of The Prince: A Newsletter for Civil Affairs Marines includes MSgt Craig J Fried: One of a Kind, Marine Corps Forming Consensus on CMO, 2008 Navy CA School Schedule, JFCOM's Deployable Training Team and SOCJFCOM's Joint Training Team Observer Trainer for CMO and Interagency Coordination, Jobs and Tip of the Day.
