About

This manual supersedes FM 21-25, 12 April 1941, including C 1, 17 January 1942, C 2, 20 April 1942, and C 3, 19 June 1942. CHAPTER 1 WHY LEARN TO READ A MAP? In civilian life it is possible for a stranger to find his way around a large city or town by merely asking directions. Any policeman or friendly native of the town can supply enough information so that the stranger can locate the street or building he wants. He may have to overcome a few wrong directions thrown in with the right ones, but he is sure of finding his way. In war an army often finds itself in strange country, but often it does not find friendly people everywhere, ready and able to help it find its way. As a soldier in the army, you will have to ask directions like any other stranger, but you will ask your map.
