These are small sized manuals printed by the 8thID so that they could easily
be taken out into the field in a uniform pocket. They provided various
training tips and information for troops on maneuvers or otherwise not able
to carry a field manual. The mini-lessons plans were based on the idea
that there would always be some down time in the field, and leaders could
put those otherwise wasted 20 minutes to good use going over some skill or
useful information.
