They were produced by and for all the branches of service, but are generally called Army manuals. Using a phrase which appeared in many, they were “published for the information and guidance of all concerned.”
During the 1940s, military manuals were approved by the Chief of Staff and authenticated by the Adjutant General. TM Training Manuals and (FM) Field Manuals .. A Full List and Index of War Department Publications, however is not detailed or found in The Library of Congress, though there are compiled lists prepared by other historical references & individuals.
