4 The announcement of the new field manual on the army’s Web site, at <http://www4.army.mil/news/article.php?story=9525, states that the “manual has been published in the interest of full transparency, and does not bear ‘For Official Use Only’ markings.” Nevertheless, as of this writing (mid-September 2006), the copy of the field manual linked to the announcement retains such markings.
