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!”
