About The Military Engineer
The Military Engineer (TME)—since 1909 under its original masthead Professional Memoirs, and since January 1920 in its current form as the official journal of SAME—has been the leading voice championing the contributions, the achievements, and the legacy of military engineers and those aligned with ensuring the national security of the United States.
TME is an award-winning bi-monthly publication. Each issue of TME magazine includes technical articles authored by subject matter experts throughout military, government, industry, and academia; stories and features from across SAME; and news and updates related to engineering, energy, resilience, technology, acquisition, and other subjects aligned with national security and STEM.
