Army Restores Online Library; FAS Asks Marines To Do the Same

· Story link

The Army has restored public access to its online Reimer Digital Library, which contains field and technical manuals and documents on military operations, education, training and technology. The library had been put behind a password-protected firewall. The Federation of Americanb Scientists filed a Freedom of Information request for all the documents and said it would post them, prompting the Army’s reversal. FAS said it has now made a similar FOIA request to the Marines for the unclassified contents of its online doctrine library. (3/06/08)
