Army Pubs puts the doctrine you actually use in your pocket. 54 publications are embedded as their full published text and read offline with no signal, and a catalog of 392 covers Field Manuals (FM), Army Doctrine Publications (ADP), Army Techniques Publications (ATP), Training Circulars (TC), Army Regulations (AR), Graphic Training Aids (GTA) and DA Pamphlets.
Not a government app. This is an independent reference, not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense. Every publication in it comes from the Army Publishing Directorate, the official source for Army publications approved for public release, and no other source is used:
• Army Publishing Directorate: https://armypubs.army.mil
Doctrine is revised regularly, so check anything operationally significant against the current official version.
No ads, no subscription, no account.
WHAT IS EMBEDDED, AND WHAT IS LISTED
Being precise about this, because it matters in the field:
• 54 publications carry their full published text inside the app, word for word from the official PDFs (front matter and index left out), and work with no signal at all: 23 FMs, 16 ADPs, 8 ARs, 3 TCs, 3 ATPs and a DA Pam
• The remaining 338 are catalogued with number, title, category, date, page count and summary, and open the official PDF when you have a connection
• Search and browse cover the whole catalog, so you can find a pub before you can read it
THE PUBLICATIONS PEOPLE ASK FOR
FM 3-25.26 Map Reading and Land Navigation, with its figures. FM 7-22 Holistic Health and Fitness. ADP 6-22 Army Leadership and the Profession. ADP 3-0 Operations. TC 3-22.9 Rifle and Carbine. FM 6-27 The Commander's Handbook on the Law of Land Warfare. ATP 3-21.8 Infantry Platoon and Squad. ATP 4-02.11 Casualty Response, Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and First Aid. The doctrine that shows up on a board, in a schoolhouse, and on a range.
BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY READ
• A clean reader with real chapters and sections, not a PDF you pinch and drag
• Dark interface that survives a red lens and a tent at night
• Pick up where you left off
FULL TEXT SEARCH (PRO)
Search every embedded publication at once and jump straight to the section, instead of remembering which manual said it.
AI ASSISTANT (PRO)
Ask a plain language question and get an answer drawn only from passages in the manuals, with tappable sources. Each answer is checked against those passages, and if it cannot be verified you see the manual text instead. Medical topics carry a caution. Generate a study summary of any chapter, checked the same way. Run a private on device model that works offline, or buy cloud AI credits in the app. No subscription either way.
BRING YOUR OWN PDFs (PRO)
Import your unit SOPs, smart cards, or notes. They are indexed automatically, with OCR for scanned pages, so they turn up in search and in the AI assistant beside the built in doctrine.
BOOKMARKS (PRO)
Bookmark sections and PDF pages, mark favorites, and keep a reading position across the whole library.
WHO IT IS FOR
Soldiers studying for a promotion board. NCOs preparing to teach a class. Cadets and ROTC. Anyone who has tried to find a specific paragraph of doctrine on a phone browser at a training area with one bar.
FREE AND PRO
Reading is free: browse the catalog and read all 54 embedded publications, fully offline. A single purchase unlocks full text search, the AI assistant, PDF import and bookmarks, with no subscription.
