    You're right. This isn't new. From the top of TFA:
    FIELD MANUAL
    NO 34-40-2 HEADQUARTERS
    DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
    Washington, DC, 13 September 1990

    The original for this came from <a href=http://www.atsc-army.org/cgi-win/$atdl.exe/fm /34-40-2/default.htm>here</a> on Tue Dec 17 01:21:11 EST 1996.
    This thing is 14 years old and has been public for over 8 years (at least) and somebody thinks that it is worth putting on slashdot. Thanks.
    (P.S. - note that the link they used for "here" doesn't even work. /.ed maybe?)
