December 31st, 2024

I've finally made some progress in the Excel sheet tracking the 2233 Field manuals currently known to me, and taking  thorough inventory of everything I already have. Currently I've got reliable entries for about a third of all the files, but I am aming to complete the list within the next month. This got necessary as during the upload of the last update I again notices several doublettes, and more typos and incorrectly named files. Appologies to all of you for that. When finished, the table should make it possible to track the field manuals still missing, and give a better overview over whats there. I already have another 56 manuals not yet online, but I am gonna keep those until they have been vetted and the list has been completed. So another major update is coming at the end of January - I hope. Until then, godspeed and have a Happy New Year!

November 18th, 2024

I am sorry for any of you who bookmarked the old drive folders. There were too many doublettes, and too many files to rename to do that comfortably in drive, so I re-upped the whole collection, including anything I had found in the past two months and all revisions and corrections.

The collection now is structured by time, separating the World-War II FMs from the Cold war and the reforms implemented in 2010.  ATPs are still to come.

In total, there are 1956 Field Manuals now, including, of course, versions of manuals published over the years.
