From 1922 to June 1929, the primary editors of the Instructors’ Summary of Military Articles were not identified in the publication. In the September 1929 edition, the editorship was first attributed to the “Command and General Staff School Library” without listing the names of persons compiling and editing the publication. Compilation and editorship of the publication was first attributed to a library committee in March 1932. Without noting a lead editor, the names listed were Col. J. A. Woodruff, Col. F. Keller, Lt. Col. S. J. Sutherland, Lt. Col. A. W. Lane, and Maj. C. A. Willoughby.

In September 1933, Willoughby was named as the first officially designated editor of the publication among the listed committee members. Mention of library committee members other than the editor was discontinued in the June 1934 edition, in which Willoughby was listed exclusively as the editor for the publication. Subsequently, the senior editor and journal staff have been listed by name in all following editions of the publication to the present. From Willoughby to our current editor in chief, Col. Jacob M. Brown, forty-one officers have served as editor in chief of Military Review.
