3.1.2.3: Army Field Guide

Instruct Soldiers on all aspects of Army life.

Other Information:

WIKIFIED ARMY FIELD GUIDE - Army Field Manuals (or “Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures”) instruct Soldiers on all aspects of Army life. As the battlefield changes rapidly, field manuals must keep pace. Under the traditional process – in which a select few were charged with drafting and updating field manuals – manuals often failed to reflect the latest knowledge of Soldiers on the ground. Using the same free software behind Wikipedia, the Army’s “wikified” field manuals invite military personnel - from private to general - to collaboratively update the Army Tactics, Techniques and Procedures Manuals in real time. In so doing, the Army provides a secure means for battle-tested Soldiers to share their experience and advice from the field. Wikified Army Field Manuals ensure the men and women who serve our Nation have access to the best possible information when they need it.
