EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE<br />
As many publishing companies are decreasing the size and scope<br />
of their coverage, I am thrilled that <strong>KMI</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Group</strong> is expanding<br />
its family of publications spotlighting military and federal agency<br />
operations and technologies.<br />
<strong>Border</strong> & CBRNE Defense (BCD) focuses on homeland security<br />
and counterterrorism efforts including mitigating chemical, biological,<br />
radiological, nuclear and explosive threats along our northern and<br />
southwest borders and ports throughout the U.S. BCD coverage includes<br />
all military support operations, disaster response, first responders and<br />
other federal agencies—including U.S. Customs and <strong>Border</strong> Protection<br />
(CBP), Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation<br />
Security Administration—that collaborate to ensure our country’s safety<br />
from hostile intrusion.<br />
Brian O’Shea<br />
Editor<br />
Whether it’s the Secretary of Homeland Security working to reduce cybercrime, which Janet<br />
Napolitano said represents the “greatest threat and actual activity that we have seen aimed at the<br />
West and at the United States,” or CBP working to promote and enhance supply chain security in their<br />
regions under the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism initiative, there are very real threats<br />
out there. These threats pose a danger to our nation that you may not necessarily see on the front<br />
page of mainstream media. Federal agencies and the U.S. military are doing everything they can and<br />
working with private industry to mitigate these threats.<br />
You may have noticed that another of <strong>KMI</strong> <strong>Media</strong> <strong>Group</strong>’s publications has changed its name from<br />
Military Medical/CBRN Technology to Military Medical & Veterans Affairs Forum (M2VA). M2VA<br />
will continue to cover military medical issues, but will take more of a focus on the Department of<br />
Veterans Affairs. The CBRNE aspect will now be covered within BCD, as keeping CBRNE threats out<br />
of our country’s borders is a high priority. If you have any questions regarding <strong>Border</strong> & CBRNE<br />
Defense, feel free to contact me at any time.<br />
