“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him,
but because he loves what is behind him.”
— G.K. Chesterton
The United States military academies incorporate by reference nearly all of the codes and standards that provide the templates for safety and sustainability of all other education communities. Where possible today we will examine a few noteworthy exceptions required by the United States Military.
Our approach is necessarily educational because military standards tend to be sensitive and product oriented and are frequently released for public consultation; except when the Department of Defense seeks competitive bids for products, systems or research projects. The bibliography linked below provides the broad contours of the topic.
NIST: Learn How to Find Standards
ASSIST: Database for Military Specifications
Defense Standardization Program
University of Minnesota Duluth: MIL-SPECS
Penn State University: US Government and Military Standards
