This is the second part of the large update announced yesterday. Bsides the FMs defining MOS skill levels and knowledge, the new google books cache also yielded a large amount of FMs from between 1940 and 1982, which enabled us to full some gaps. Full statistics again on the About page, but we now haver 80% overall of all field manuals which we know of. There are again slight discrepancies between out bookkeeping, the number of locally saved files, and the number of files online, but we*re working on that.
The new ones often were just better scans of existing files, but there are about 60 new manuals in the library, with beauties such as FM 8-24 Community Health Nursing in the Army (1980) and FM 10-26 The Army Food Advisor (1977), but also key documents like FM 17-36 Divisional Armored and Air Cavalry Units from 1965 and FM 17-95 The Armored Cavalry Regiment from a year later. You’ll find them, as always, on the drive.
