FM 3-24, the new Army/Marine Corps Field Manual, was released on December 15th. It was downloaded more than 1.5 million times in the first month after its posting to the Fort Leavenworth and Marine Corps websites and was widely reviewed, including by several Jihadi websites; copies have been found in Taliban training camps in Pakistan.
It is now for the first time available in hard copy from the University of Chicago Press. This version includes a short new Foreword by an undistinguished member of the writing team and a brilliant introduction by Sarah Sewall of the Carr Center for Human Rights at Harvard University, which sponsored the now-famous vetting conference at Leavenworth in February 2006. Released with a cover price of $15, it is heavily discounted on the web. Best of all, the University of Chicago Press donates a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports America's military families.
As General Petraeus said, "Surely a manual that's on the bedside table of the president, vice president, secretary of defense, 21 of 25 members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and many others deserves a place at your bedside too!"

The sequence of the form and shape is fit for the anticipation for the goals for the realm. The change of the norms and essay writing services are done for the conditions. Pathos filled for the room of the few and regulation for the incentives or the team.
K-State/Gov. Docs was lucky enough to get this in hard copy right away straight from the source ;) We are spoiled being so close to Ft. Filey---and we really do appreciate it--those PDF's are not as patron-friendly when the pages become volumes! I know we try and still get hard copy of items even when GPO is pushing for online only...librarians will say there is just something more when you can hold the piece complete in your hands....and already bound--a treat ;)
Awesome work!
