Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, The Soldier's Blue Book provides a guide for initial entry training soldiers.

The introductions states: From 1775 until Valley Forge, American forces were brave, but disorganized citizens fighting against highly trained and organized British Soldiers. To win the Revolutionary War, General George Washington's men needed better training, discipline, and esprit de corps.

Seeking a solution, General Washington tasked Baron von Steuben with transforming the large group of hungry and exhausted men at Valley Forge into a disciplined fighting force. In the harsh Pennsylvania winter, Baron von Steuben instructed a company of future leaders in basic military movements and tactical skills; those individuals were the predecessors of our Drill Sergeants! He developed that cadre until they could -in turn—train the entire Revolutionary Army in the art of basic military maneuvers. Through their perseverance and sense of duty, these dedicated troops practiced to the highest standards. As a result, Washington's men fought skillfully in battle and truly embodied a professional army. By 1783, America had won its independence.

Training to standard and gaining the inner strength to adapt and overcome adversity became the theme for our Army's training model. Baron von Steuben, by then the Army Inspector General, wrote the Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States—now commonly referred to as the Blue Book—as an instructional guide for future generations. This book consists, as our modern version does now, of detailed training procedures, the standards of military conduct, and the fundamentals every Soldier needs to ensure he or she is successful in battle.
