The journal first adopted its current name in 1947 with Jack G. DeProse as the founding
editor-in-chief. Preceded by the
Canadian Army Training Memorandum (an English-only publication published monthly from 1941 to 1947), the bilingual army journal ceased publication in June 1965 amidst reform within the
Department of National Defence seeking to unify the periodical publications of the
Canadian Armed Forces. In 1965 the
Canadian Army Journal, the
Navy's
The Crowsnest and the
Air Force's
The Roundel were merged to form the
Canadian Forces Sentinel, which changed its name to simply
Sentinel in 1973 and then ceased publication in 1994. The current
Canadian Army Journal was preceded from 1980 to 1993 by the "roughly biannual"
Canadian Army Doctrine Bulletin. The army's own quarterly bilingual journal was officially relaunched as the
Army Doctrine and Training Bulletin in August 1998 and then returned to its historic name in 2004.
