Not only did our elders contribute to the body of professional knowledge but they, themselves, stood on the shoulders of giants.
In recent rabbit hole of my own, I discovered the 1944 FM 5-20 camouflage series. It's principles are both timeless and timely, focusing on avoiding aerial detection and provide a primer for fieldcraft that we so sorely need.
5-20B, Vehicle Camouflage, is fit for reissue today. Sadly, these manuals are hard to find and many are copied in black and white despite featuring some of the best color graphics I have ever seen.
