This page provides a list of many of the important military standards specifications and handbooks. The actual documents may not be accessed from this page because of bandwidth issues. Military Specifications may be down loaded from Stinet or many other sources. In addition some of the titles may have been re-ordered to make more sense, instead of declaring everything in reverse which is standard practice for a DOD document. In many cases some of these documents are referenced on some other page on the site.
Beginning in the 1980's the government in general and the Department of Defense in particular began to reduce their reliance of specifications written by and for the military. Over the years many government documents have been removed from service. So any document listed here could be removed and withdrawn with out a replacement. In fact, some may have already been withdrawn. In most cases the document revision level has been omitted from the standards number. The revision level [a letter directly after the specification number] could change at any time, and it serves no purpose to define the revision level unless designing to or requiring a specific document date. However you would want to declare which revision of a document you are using to design to, but the version level serves no purpose on this page [because it might change at any time].
However some well used documents have been at the same revision level for many years. Vendors requiring device shock testing will use the revision level of MIL-STD-901D, and in fact will advertise products by claiming conformance to 901D.
So be careful any time you reference a military standard, or design a system to a military standard. You have to determine if you need to work off the revision provided, or the latest revision of the document, if there is one. Normally if a standard is withdrawn, no one should be referencing the standard at all, but some people don't check. That is, a design specification may call out a particular military standard or document, but only because the reference is a copy and paste from a previous specification. Once a military standard is withdrawn, no one should be making reference to it; but again, many people don't check. The basic premise is that once an organization withdraws a standards document from service, or circulation, than the document is no longer valid, because it becomes uncontrolled.
