United States Army Field Manuals are published by the United States Army's Army Publishing Directorate. As of 27 July 2007, some 542 field manuals were in use.[1] They contain detailed information and how-tos for procedures important to soldiers serving in the field. Starting in 2010, the US Army began review and revision of all of its doctrinal publications, under the initiative 'Doctrine 2015'. Since then, the most important doctrine have been published in Army Doctrine Publications (ADP) and Army Doctrine Reference Publications (ADRP), replacing the former key Field Manuals. Army Techniques Publications (ATP), Army Training Circulars (TC), and Army Technical Manuals (TM) round out the suite new of doctrinal publications. Not all FMs are being rescinded; 50 select Field Manuals will continue to be published, periodically reviewed and revised. They are usually available to the public at low cost or free electronically. Many websites have begun collecting PDF versions of Army Field Manuals, Technical Manuals and Weapon Manuals.
Use of Field Manuals[edit]
Numerous field manuals are in the public domain.[2] Especially for people training survival skills (e.g., survivalists, adventurous travelers, victims of natural disasters) the US Field Manuals may be a valuable resource.
Wikifying the Field Manuals[edit]
According to The New York Times (14 August 2009), the Army has started to 'wikify' certain field manuals – allowing any authorized user to update the manuals.[3] This process, specifically using the MediaWiki arm of the military's professional networking application, milSuite, was recognized by the White House as an Open Government Initiative in 2010.[4]
List of selected field manuals[edit]
- FM 6-22 Leader Development 'The tenets of Army leader development provide the essential principles that have made the Army successful at developing its leaders.'
- FM 1, The Army[A] – 'establishes the fundamental principles for employing landpower.' Together, it and FM 3–0 are considered by the U.S. Army to be the 'two capstone doctrinal manuals.'[5]
- FM 3–0, Operations[B] – The operations guide 'lays out the fundamentals of war fighting for future and current generations of recruits.'[1]
- FM 3-05.70 U.S. Army Survival Manual –Used to train survival techniques (formerly the FM 21-76).

- FM 34-52, Intelligence Interrogation – Used to train CIA interrogators in conducting effective interrogations while conforming with US and international law.

Replaced in September 2006 by FM 2-22.3, Human Intelligence Collector Operations.
- FM 3-21.20 – covers the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT)

My mom got us this book for Christmas as kind of a joke since we had ice storms and no electricity last December, but I was actually quite excited about reading it. I don't think I need any of the tips about planning my escape cache as a prisoner of war, but there are lots of other great tips here for how to survive in the wild.

Key tips:
'Eels are excellent eating'
'There is as much danger of sunburn on cloudy days as on sunny days'
'About 75 percent of the earth's surface is covered by water, about 70 percent being oceans and seas.'
This is the book to read if you want to dominate the natural world when you get lost. Trust me.

You can remain alive anywhere in the world when you keep your wits. This is a major lesson in survival. Remember that nature and the elements are neither your friend nor your enemy—they are actually disinterested. Instead, it is your determination to live and your ability to make nature work for you that are the deciding factors.

Cool. Picked this up in the dollar section of my library and felt it was worthy to pick up. Not bad at all. Though I have to admit most of what I read is confirmed from various action adventure movies but there is still plenty to learn from.

I'm what you call a paranoid wackjob...I also have spent more of my life living in the woods, or the high desert, miles away from anyone but my immediate family, than I have anywhere else.
This is one of two books that I bring with me from place to place. I know every page, but It's still in the bag, just in case. I've owned two copies, the first was destroyed from use.

This book deals with survival in the desert, the tropics, under arctic and subarctic conditions and at sea. Topics include treating insect and snake bites, making wooden and stone knives, starting a fire, obtaining water (it details how to make a solar water still and make polluted water drinkable), creating a shelter, finding your direction using the sun and stars--and all sorts of ways of getting food--including the Universal Plant Test.

Large parts of this book are completely peripheral to the military aspect of it -- lots of tips for outdoor survival that I have seen elsewhere or that seem like great suggestions. This manual is certainly not written with ecological impact in mind, but it is intended for the kind of situations where that probably wouldn't be the first thing on your mind in any case. Mostly the focus is on general survival skills that would be good in any emergency situation, although there are some times you ar...more

A general manual on living off the land using what you have to stay alive.
I must add an important factor that is missing in this book. Drinking your own urine was not adviced. This is 100% wrong. Urine drinking has been done thousands of years by acient cultures. Its the oldest form of medicine around. Look up any extreme survival story -no water buried under a building,alone for days abandoned,in a desert lost......etc. those that have survived are the ones that have drank their own urine.

This book is a survival manual. I know it was not written for the casual reader, but it feels like a collection of short stories and provides unique insight to the mental preparation of a soldier. The most interesting sections for me talked about preparation of escaping a P.O.W. camp and creating your own animal traps. I doubt I will ever have to attempt either one, but a guy can dream, right?

This is a great resource for learning some basic survival skills to keep you alive for the first ten days after you are stranded, captured, crashed, lost.....
There really isn't much about how to survive long-term, like after the fall. I guess we'll just have to figure that out for ourselves and see who survives.

The US Army manual on survival skills. Contains in simple language the mindset and skills needed in emergency situations. There are color plates of snakes and plants. Included in is a section on emergency medicine.
Oct 29, 2007Ross rated it liked itRecommends it for: anyone that would not last 2 days alone in the woods or desert like me
i learned that i will still probably die in 2 days if left alone in the wilderness, but i think anyone going camping or traveling long distances should bring a copy of the survival guide just in case. after all, it is not everyday that you learn how to make an ojibwa bird snare.

This is an awesome tool for anyone who wants to rough it in the bush. The book contains an excellent photographic encyclopedia of most edible and poisonous plants. I used this exstensively to great effect over the last summer at a wilderness survival training class.

It is useful as situation here goes crazy, I needed something to teach how to survive. I learned that I can make soap from fat and ash!! Still reading it but unfortunately not the paper book. It's software version.
While the book contains valuable knoledge it was excessively brief in many of the subjects.
Really the defacto standard in wilderness survival. Read for SEER Training at Fairchild AFB.

Although dated, I learned a few things. If I went on “Naked and Aftaid”, this would be my one item that I’d bring with me
There was some good information in the manual, but as far as survival books go there are others with just-as-good information that are easier to read.

Thank heavens I was still able to get a girlfriend in the 10th grade.

Good information. The Air Force version AFM 64-5 has more information that is suited to civilian and military personnel.
This one's good. I like the illustrations and feeding my own post-apocalyptic fantasies... recommend pairing with The Road.

I can now do everything Bear Grylls does but better. Suck it Bear Grylls.
Slightly out of date, but still a good source of information
Great fun to read as bathroom lit. Made it hard for me to watch 'Into the Wild' because the whole movie I'm exasperated that the main character so clearly needs this book.
It was at a surplus store, and I was going to live in the Peru mountains, so I bought it to have some english books to read and a way to maybe learn more from the army. Good book, its in my library.
Really good book on wilderness survival, if you ever go into the woods you should have it.
Apr 16, 2017Cosma Catalin rated it really liked it
A good basic book that covers all the survival skills that a soldier needs to learn before going to a mission especially one who is in the special forces.I does not go in full detail especially for the tactics part,I also recommend the book for civilians it has a few useful tips when you go in the wild but for that you can always watch the Bear Grylls shows.
