Summary

Graphic Training Aids have long been produced by the U.S. Army to assist instructors in the education of troops. The Army produced a vast array of instructional aids for any military subject. Posters, in particular, were designed as reminders or supplements to class instruction, and produced singularly or in sets to access the visual memory of the soldier.
