Detailed reference data are found in tables of organization and equipment, field manuals, technical manuals, technical bulletins, and supply bulletins as outlined in SR 310-20 series. The principles and procedures of administration are contained in FM 100-10; the duties of staff officers and the principles and procedures of staff action are contained in FM 101-5. Where tons are shown, the short ton (2,000 lb) is intended unless the long ton (2,240 lb) or the measurement ton (40 cu. ft.) is specified. Caution: Data contained herein are based on experience principally from World War II, and can be applied to the future only with judg- ment and discrimination. Wherever a known factor is available, it should be used instead of one from this manual.
