Army Almanac Published by United States Printing Office
The Army Almanac is a 1009 page volume issued by the United States Printing Office in Washington DC. It covers charts, names and lists but is largely out of date for civilian readers. The book helps soldiers with military specifics though civilians would struggle to use much of it.
