Army Recovery Manual

This came up while I was Googling something. Thought I'd throw it up here for those needing some late night reading.

Neat!

 

Great find!!!! I actually remembered a good bit of that manual from my Army days (69-70).

 

What a sweet find. Gonna sit down and read through this for sure.

 

Haha - Awesome!

 

a well known resource. It's ancient, but full of great info. I recommend it to newbies, and suggest they read it cover to cover, then print and laminate important pages and carry in the truck.

 

This is awesome!

 

I attended the U.S. Army recovery course a couple of times. Nothing like an M1 tank with a mire 4 factor. Thats 68 plus tons M1 one tank stuck in the mud.

 

Thanks, got it download for my evening reading.

 

interesting read.

 

Thanks for sharing, this is great!

 

Here’s an update to the manual if interested:

This is why I spent the first half of my career being Commo repair. My "recovery" was typically sitting at my electronics bench fixing busted Rt524's, PRC-77's and some new fangled SINCGARS ( late 90's - mid 2000's) drinking water

My second half was a reclass to medic, so that recovery was self IV'ing fixing hangovers....

 

Very cool - will enjoy reading this!
