From Wikipedia: "The United States Department of War also called the War Department and occasionally War Office in the early years was the United States Cabinet department originally responsible for the operation and maintenance of the United States Army. The War Department also bore responsibility for naval affairs until the establishment of the Navy Department in 1798 and for most land-based air forces until the creation of the Department of the Air Force in 1947. The Secretary of War headed the war department throughout its existence. The War Department existed from 1789 until September 18 1947 when it split into Department of the Army and Department of the Air Force and joined the Department of the Navy as part of the new joint National Military Establishment NME renamed the United States Department of Defense in 1949. The Secretary of War a civilian with such responsibilities as finance and purchases and a minor role in directing military affairs headed the War Department. James B. Steedman unknown‎

This represents the state of knowledge state of practice and standard of training during the final months of the Second World War. It incorporated lessons learned and new technical developments since the issuance of the previous edition in mid-1941. Military manuals are several series of official publications intended to be instructive and informative. They were produced by all the branches of service but are generally called Army manuals. Using a phrase which appeared in many they were "published for the information and guidance of all concerned." During the 1940s military manuals were approved by the Chief of Staff and authenticated by the Adjutant General. Field Manual FM 21-6 List and Index of War Department Publications is a detailed list of the manuals that were available. The War Department which became the Department of the Army in 1947 issued three major classes of publications -- administrative doctrinal training and organizational and technical and equipment publications. Administrative publications include publications such as Army Regulations Special Regulations Bulletins Circulars General and Special Orders and Pamphlets; doctrinal training and organizational publications contain Field Manuals Army Training and Evaluation Programs Training Circulars Tables of Organization and Equipment and Tables of Allowances; and technical and equipment publications include publications such as Technical Manuals Technical Bulletins Supply Manuals etc. The Library of Congress does not have a complete set of these publications but its holdings are extensive and significant. United States Army Field Manuals are published by the United States Army's Army Publishing Directorate. As of 27 July 2007 some 542 field manuals were in use. They contain detailed information and how-tos for procedures important to soldiers serving in the field. Starting in 2010 the US Army began review and revision of all of its doctrinal publications under the initiative "Doctrine 2015". Since then the most important doctrine have been published in Army Doctrine Publications ADP and Army Doctrine Reference Publications ADRP replacing the former key Field Manuals. Army Techniques Publications ATP Army Training Circulars TC and Army Technical Manuals TM round out the suite new of doctrinal publications. Not all FMs are being rescinded. Select Field Manuals will continue to be published periodically reviewed and revised. Army manuals include publications on historic U. S. military vehicles including military motorcycles jeeps military trucks scout cars tanks and amphibians; aircraft including fixed wing and rotary craft; radio equipment; cooking; and language dictionaries and phrase books.
