Army Doctrine and Training Digital Library (ADTDL) Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL)The CALL is the U.S.Army's online military lessons learned database. The
unclassified sections are open to the public. You can download publications it
produces. It can be very informative and interesting. [Note that you need to
set your browser (Internet Explorer) security settings at medium
and cookies at high to see this site, otherwise all you will
get is a blank screen] Joint DoctrineThe Joint doctrine website publishes the U.S.Military's manuals concerned with the combined operations of the U.S.Army, Airforce, Navy and Marine Corps. This is the equivalent of the U.S.Army's Digital Training Library. Note that the documents require a Acrobat 4.0 to read and that the documents also have color pictures which may or may not be a problem for you to print. National Technical Information Service (NTIS)This is the current official public source of printed U.S.Army manuals. The
last time I looked they had a catalog of 5500 current manuals online with the
ability to get over 30,000 more. You can also order Airforce and Navy manuals
through them. U.S.Army Research InstituteThe U.S.Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences
produces and number of manuals of it's own like the Combat Leaders Guide and
Commander's Battle Staff Handbook and other items. Aero Tec-DataAn source of aircraft flight manuals. They appear to have hundreds of
manuals available. If you are interested in aviation manuals Aero Tec-Data is
worth looking into. Asiapac BooksAsiapac has a fine line of the Military classics of Ancient China done a
amusing cartoon format, including all the original text. You can find the the
classics in their Online shop, under Strategy and
Leadership section, then goto English comics. Military Research ServiceThis is a military document photocopy service specializing in
World War II Tables of Organization and Equipment. TO&E's are very hard to
find and the Military Research Service should prove to be useful addition
research resource. Paladin PressPaladin Press is and has been a source of many military manuals reprints
over the past thirty years as well as many original books on military subjects.
They are source worth looking at. But as they say "Paladin offers
outrageous and controversial books and videotapes". Over the past thirty
years they have had more than their share of trouble because of it. Portrayal PressPortrayal Press is the primary reprinter of military vehicle manuals.
Currently has hundreds of vehicle manuals for sale and other books on military
subjects. So if you are looking for a military technical manual reprint on a
vehicle they are place to go. [Unfortuately when I last checked on 8 September 2012 they were going out of buisness because of health reasons] Russian Military TranslationsGo to Russian Military
Translations This site offers a number of translations of Russian Military Manuals for
sale, done by an expert translator. The Warrior PressThe Warrior Press publishes "The Ranger Digest" which is a series of booklets on modern combat fieldcraft. They are inexpensive and are loaded with ideas. The site also has a number of free tips. Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA)The main club dealing with military vehicles. The MVPA is concerned with
almost anything about military vehicles and they have an extensive web site.
Also they have links to almost anyone who has an interest in military
vehicles. Olive-Drab (Military Link Site)A very large site devoted to linking to everyone on the World Wide Web that
has useful information on military subjects. Simonides (Military History and Archaeology Web Site)Simonides is a very large web site specializing in promoting military

related sites and appear to be expanding quickly. Also they sell a large series
of CD ROM's contains manuals on many military vehicles. Stone & Stone World War Two BooksThis is the central web site for finding World War Two books on the
Internet. If you are looking for books on the Second World War this is the
place to go. This site has book reviews, lists of forthcoming books and a want
list service. It also has directory listings and web links to most of the major
publishers and book dealers specializing in military books in the English
speaking world and beyond. The S2 CompanyA website which specializes in Tactical Intelligence. It has a wealth of
information, links and tools for people interested in Battlefield Intelligence
gathering. While it is not part of the U.S.Government, it will amaze you with
all the things which they make available. But note that this site does not like
Netscape browsers. The Coastal Defense Study Group (CDSG)A club who's main interest is in the history and preservation of the many
coastal fortifications which dot the coasts of the United States. Also the
giant ordnance which the coastal fortifications were equipped with. They also
have a number of their own unique publications on the history of American coast
fortifications. Army TechnologyA website designed to display U.S.Army technology and to provide links to military contractors. It displays the cutting edge of military technology Excalibur Electro OpticsGo to Excalibur Electro Optics This is the most extensive site on Night Vision Equipment I have so far found on the web. They a both sell night vision equipment and have a fair amount of data on the equipment available. Federation of American Scientists (FAS)This is a very good intelligence website, designed to keep the concerned public up to date about current happenings related to war and peace. Civil War Field FortificationsGo to Civil War Field
Fortifications This is a very nicely done website, with a lot of detailed information. It is a recommended site for students of the history and science of fortification. They are even working a CD-ROM containing the information on their website. The Korean WarA website devoted completely to the Korean War. A true military history site, with a wealth of detail attached. Including weapon information. A La Ligne MaginotA very done site on the famous French Maginot Line. One of the World's great pieces of military engineering. With numerous maps and illustrations. While this site is mainly in French, it can be understood. The Military HorseThis is a well done site specializing on The Military Horse. To quote them: "The Society is engaged in the preservation of and research upon, knowledge of the horse, and other equines, in their employment in a military role. This includes the study of, and distribution of knowledge upon, this topic as well as upon the equipment and tack associated with the military equipment of horses, horse soldiers, horse drawn artillery and military horse transport." The Vickers Machine GunThis is a website devoted completely to the British Vickers Machine Gun. Site O (Fortification and Artillery Discussion Group)This is a international research/discussion group site based in the United States, maintaining a forum for people who want the discuss the historical military technology of fortification and artillery, new books and research issues. Martin Egger's Fortification Web pageThis site has a great number of useful links to other Fortification sites on the web. He also has his articles (in German) on Fortification available there. But what I like most is that he also has available the only plan I have ever seen of the inside layout of Ft.Drum (the concrete battleship of Manila bay fame). Closed or Inactive Websites (Including ones now closed to the public)Below are sites which closed, no longer accesssable to the public or inactive. They deserved to be remembered. Army Doctrine and Training Digital Library (ADTDL) [Closed]A good idea in its time, a victim of the times Original comments on this website...The ADTDL is the U.S.Army online military manual library. The public can
view and download any of the several hundred current military manuals which the
U.S.Army has made available. This web site was design for use by both U.S.Army
and the general public, with the public being locked out of the restricted
manuals. Their are some problems. Unless you have a fast modem, fast computer,
fast printer, have the right plug in's, and a lot of time you may have problems
actually obtaining a manual. But it is possible to have access to current
military manuals. Army Administrative Electronic Publications [No longer accessable]A victim of the times Original comments on this website...This is the U.S.Army's site for Army Regulations (AR's), the manuals that
really run the U.S.Army on a daily basis. Generally AR's are numerous, seem
like they cover every conceivable subject, hard to find (especially old one's)
and change constantly. They can also be are real education in what the U.S.Army
is suppose to do. Believe it or not at one time in history they all fit into a
single book. Now they need a small library with many bookcases to house
them. Marine Corps Doctrine Manuals (USMC) [No longer accessable]Another victim of the times Original comments on this website...This webpage is the U.S.Marine Corps digital manual library. It part of the
Marines Corps doctrine divisions website. While it does list their manuals and
it does have a number of manuals which can be downloaded, the list is far from
complete and the whole site is generally under construction. When it comes down
downloading or viewing the manuals it has the same problems as the U.S.Army's
digital training library above. MOUT (Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain) [Closed]A great loss Original comments on this website...This is one of the finest military content sites on the World Wide Web. It
has many articles and links to many other sites. It is a must for anyone
interested in modern military operations in cities. Navy Fact File [Closed]Gone Original comments on this website...Courtesy of the U.S.Navy, an extensive series of fact sheets on modern U.S.Navy Ordnance and ships. Railway Gun and Armored Train Web-Museum [Closed]A great loss Original comments on this website...An excellent website devoted to Railway Gun Technology. With many pictures and links. M240B Gunners Training Page [Closed]Gone Original comments on this website...This is a website devoted completely to the technical aspects of the M240B Machine Gun (7.62mm). The site works best in Internet Explorer. The Roman Army by Gary Brueggeman [Inactive]Hopefully it will reopen Original comments on this website...It is unusual for us to point out websites which deal with technological subjects which are don't have at least some technology which has been developed within the last two hundred years. But this site is so outstanding in the amount of technological information that it gives, that it should be looked at. |
