Interesting "manual." but obviously written for the novice civilian.

For example, the fact that the bezel of a mil-spec compass has 120 grooves around the perimeter, thus making one click equal to 3 degrees, is not mentioned.

The definition of a mil (more correctly, a US/NATO mil of 1/6,400 vs. the Soviet/Warsaw Pact mil of 1/6,000) is not covered.

The definition of "Grid North" is incomplete and misleading.
