About the Doublebit Military Outdoors Skills SeriesMilitary
manuals contain essential knowledge about outdoors life, thriving while
in the field, and self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, many great military
books, field manuals, and technical guides over the years have become
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 These have either been rescinded by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does not mean that these texts are worthless or “out of date” – in fact,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, the knowledge
about the outdoors over the entire history of military publication is
timeless!
By publishing the Military Outdoors Skills Series,
it is our goal at Doublebit Press 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), and other military books
that hold timeless knowledge about outdoors life, navigation, and
survival. Through remastered reprint editions of military handbooks and
field manuals, we can preserve the time-tested skills and institutional
knowledge that was learned through hard lessons and training by the U.S.
Military and our expert soldiers.
