Military manuals contain essential knowledge about self-sufficiency, historic skills, and security.
Unfortunately, many great military books, field manuals, and technical guides over the years have become out of print, less available, and harder to find.
These have either been rescinded by the armed forces or are otherwise out of print due to their age.
This does not mean that these texts are worthless or “out of date” – in fact, the opposite is true!
It is true that the US Military frequently updates its manuals as its protocols have changed based on the times and combat situations that our armed services face.
However, much of the history of the U.S. military through its publications is timeless!
By publishing the Military Manual Series, it is our goal to do what we can to preserve and share historic military works, such as army field manuals (the FM series), technical manuals (the TM series), Naval Training Publications, and other military books from other branches that hold timeless knowledge about self-sufficiency, security, outdoors life, navigation, and survival.
Through remastered reprint editions of military handbooks and field manuals, we can preserve the knowledge of time-tested skills and institutional knowledge that was learned through hard lessons and training by the U.S. Military and our expert soldiers.
