Army Survival Manual

About Army Survival Manual

The complete U.S. Army Survival Manual (FM 3-05.70) — plus tools no other survival app has: Plant ID that runs entirely on your phone with zero signal, and Field Intel that adapts to where you actually are.

Built for soldiers, preppers, hikers, hunters, and anyone who takes preparedness seriously. Every technique is straight from the official Army field manual, no filler, no ads — and everything works fully offline.

The full manual is free to read. A one-time $0.99 unlock adds Field Intel — including on-device Plant ID — plus the Study Guide, full-text search, and bookmarks.
