Soldiers Magazine, June, 2003

Letter from the editor.

LAST year we enlisted the aid of the Army Research Institute to ask you, our readers, what you would like to see in Soldiers. We listened, and this month Soldiers launches three new departments -- Lifestyles, Tech Notes and On Point.

Lifestyles covers a wide range of soldier concerns, such as fitness, nutrition, recreation and travel. Tech Notes brings you an overview of the latest in high-tech equipment, along with a sneak preview of what's on the drawing board. Finally, On Point showcases images of soldiers in action around the world.

Along with new departments we've updated the magazine's look -- the first such change in several years. This redesign gives the magazine a more modern appearance while capitalizing on the use of photos.

As always, we hope you find this month's issue of Soldiers interesting and informative.
