The Military Outdoors Skills Series by Doublebit Military manuals include important information regarding outdoor living, prospering in the field, and self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, many excellent military literature, field manuals, and technical instructions have become scarce and difficult to get over the years. These have either been withdrawn by the military forces or are no longer in print owing to their age. This is not to say that these writings are useless or “out of date” — just the contrary! True, the US Military routinely updates its manuals as its rules alter in response to the times and combat conditions that our armed forces confront. However, knowledge of the outdoors throughout the history of military publications is ageless!
Doublebit Press’s objective in publishing the Military Outdoors Skills Series is to conserve and distribute historic military works such as army field manuals (the FM series), technical manuals (the TM series), and other military literature that carry timeless information about outdoor living, navigation, and survival. We may conserve time-tested abilities and institutional knowledge obtained through hard lessons and training by the US Military and our skilled troops by remastering reprint copies of military handbooks and field manuals.
