- fiatmoney 10y ago"For official use only" or similar verbiage is not equivalent to "classification". Field manuals are generally more-or-less public domain knowledge, you can download most of them eg http://www.apd.army.mil/ProductMap.asp http://www.apd.army.mil/ProductMap.asp or from various other sources. "Classification" is mostly relevant to .gov actors, there's no general legal prohibition on reading or disseminating classified information. You can't open up the New York Times without being splattered by bits of theoretically classified information.
