I have just acquired FM30-102 Handbook on Aggressor Forces and was wondering if anyone else has seen this FM or perhaps owns one? It is marked Restricted at the bottom and dated March 1951 It talks about the creation of the Aggressor nation right after WWII and deals with the entire History and military tactics of this fake nation. From what I can tell it was used for training purposes for our troops during Korea. All I know is that in my 13 years of collecting I have never seen this FM before.

The Army heritage center has several of the Aggressor manuals available online, not sure of the dates but most of the ones they have are late 50's/ early 60's. There was a whole system with rank, units, uniforms, even political structure and language (esperanto). The Shelby Stanton Cold war book has some of the uniforms and insignia. It got big in the 50's/60's and then died out, restarted at the National Training Center in the 80's and I believe has gone away again.

Thanks for the info. Since this is a KW era FM on Aggressor forces is it something semi rare or a common FM that I just haven't seen?
