FM 21-76 US Army Survival Manual

US Army (historical copy via Internet Archive)

The classic, illustration-rich edition civilians know as 'the Army Survival Manual' — better plant/trap/shelter illustrations than the terser 2018 ATP; strong marketing recognition. Alternate clean copy: https://www.bits.de/NRANEU/others/amd-us-archive/FM21-76(92).pdf

Editor's notes

Superseded doctrine — label it as the 1992 historical edition in-app so users don't take it as current military guidance (e.g., some first-aid advice is dated). PD status is unaffected by supersession.
