Cold War U.S. military instruction archive of government-produced manuals and intelligence studies showing how the Army trained soldiers to recognize enemy weapons, report battlefield information, and classify Soviet military power. The archive includes a U.S. Army field manual which explains how battlefield reports became military intelligence. The Soviet weapons guide was produced to teach soldiers how to identify AKM rifles, RPG-7 launchers, Sagger missiles, SA-7 antiaircraft missiles, mortars, and antitank guns in the field. Major Mitzi D. Leibst's DIA study Women in the Soviet Armed Forces broadens the archive from weapons to manpower, showing how U.S. intelligence counted Soviet women's military service as part of the enemy's total fighting capacity. Five U.S. Army and Defense Intelligence Agency manuals and studies on combat intelligence, Soviet equipment recognition, small arms identification, Soviet force organization, and women in the Soviet armed forces. Washington, D.C.; Fort Monroe, Virginia; Charlottesville, Virginia; Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; Department of the Army, Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S. Army Foreign Science and Technology Center, and Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity, 1973 to 1978. 1] United States Department of the Army. FM 30-5, Combat Intelligence. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, 30 October 1973. Chapters cover intelligence functions, collection, processing, dissemination, order of battle, counterintelligence, maps, and aerial imagery. Approximately 200 pages. 2] United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. TC 30-3, Soviet Equipment Recognition Guide. Fort Monroe, Virginia: U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, 11 April 1975. A soldier's pocket-style recognition guide using photographs, cartoons, role labels, and specifications to teach Soviet weapons identification. 50 pages. 3] Johnson, Harold E. Small Arms Identification and Operation Guide, Free World. DST-1110H-163-76. Washington, D.C.: Defense Intelligence Agency, December 1976. A DIA intelligence product prepared by the U.S. Army Foreign Science and Technology Center and approved for public release with an August 1976 information cutoff. 316 pages. 4] Leibst, Mitzi D. Women in the Soviet Armed Forces. DDI-1100-109-76. Washington, D.C.: Defense Intelligence Agency, March 1976. Prepared for the Ground Forces/MBFR Branch, Soviet/Warsaw Pact Division, the study identifies gaps in data on Soviet women's strength, service, and quality of service, while compiling law, history, and personnel evidence. 19 Pages. 5] United States Army Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity. HB 550-2, Organization and Equipment of the Soviet Army. Fort Leavenworth, Kansas: Threats Division, Concepts, Doctrine and Literature Directorate, Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity, 31 July 1978. Prepared to assist battle simulations and standardize Soviet-type organizational and equipment data. Approximately 60 pages. The archive records the practical underside of Cold War intelligence, where enemy knowledge moved into manuals for soldiers, analysts, and training commands. Its strongest pairing is the DIA women's study and the Soviet Equipment Recognition Guide: one expands Soviet force analysis into gender, law, and manpower, while the other teaches ordinary soldiers to identify enemy weapons in the field. Wrappers show toning, handling wear, staining, creasing, staple wear, punch holes, and light soil; interiors remain legible, with tables, captions, illustrations, photographs, and institutional markings intact. Overall in good condition. The group preserves how U.S. military institutions taught personnel to recognize, report, and classify Soviet military power during the Cold War. …
