FM 100-5 Field Service Regulations: Operations

VERY GOOD. Dated May 22, 1941. CLEAN!! No marks in text. Name on front cover. Glued binding is sound. 310 pages ; 17 cm. . . . . . This edition (May 22, 1941) of FM 100-5 encapsulates the state of U.S. Army doctrine on the eve of America's entry into World War II. It was published at a critical juncture, as the world was already engulfed in war and the United States had begun to mobilize. It stands as a valuable historical artifact, preserving the doctrinal thought of the U.S. Army just before the nation's entry into World War II. It remained in effect until June 1944, when a new manual superseded it. . . . . . . . KEY FEATURES: 1.) DOCTRINAL GUIDANCE: It provided desperately needed up-to-date doctrinal guidance for an Army that had grown eight times larger than it was in 1939 ---- 2.) MODERNIZATION: The manual reflected the Army's modernization program that affected virtually every facet of military activity ---- 3.) LOUISIANA MANEUVERS: This was the doctrine the Army took into the great Louisiana maneuvers of 1941, which were part of prewar mobilization efforts ---- 4.) COMBAT APPLICATION: It later guided American soldiers through combat in diverse locations such as New Guinea and Tunisia ---- 5.) CLARITY: The 1941 version of FM 100-5 is recognized as a classic piece of doctrine writing, remarkable for its clarity of concept and prose.
