On a "Search Results" page, as you run your mouse over the PIN,TM Number or 
title, the file name will appear at the bottom of your browser.  If it's in 
an 'A' directory, then anyone can download it, otherwise an account is 
required.  To the best of my knowledge, ordinary hobbists like ourselves 
do not rate accounts.  I believe you need to be on a US-domain to d/l even
the 'A' items.

Examples:
https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/data/A/006287.pdf  <- Okay
https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/data/D/006286.pdf  <- Account needed

It's a mystery to me why some manuals are not in the 'A' group as the
equipment may be purchased readily on the open market and often original
manuals can be found on eBay.  Go figure.
