Description

Field Manuals (FMs) are the bibles of the Army. They provide instruction and step-by-step procedures for just about anything and everything. There are well over 500 currently in use, with subjects ranging from infantry tactics, to knot tying, to nuclear operations...all the fun stuff.

Because of their general usefulness and utility, there is often crossover usage of FMs outside of the military in the civilian world.
They are for the most part written in a straight-forward and easy-to-read manner, and usually have pictures and illustrations to go along with the text.
