HJL,
Don’t send people to Amazon for the U.S. Army manuals. They are available for free on the Internet. – S.
HJL Responds: We know that they are free, and a simple Google search will turn up a variety of places that you can download a .pdf copy of them. We also have copies of many of the .pdf versions of U.S Army manuals contained on the SurvivalBlog archive that we put together every year. However, on the more relevant manuals, we feel it is important to have a hard copy in hand. You can print out your own hard copy from a .pdf file and place it in a three ring binder or have it bound for you, but the expense of doing so exceeds the cost of just purchasing a hard copy from Amazon. Sometimes it really is just better to purchase a hard copy rather than making your own.
