DoD 404s Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) Joint Electronic Library


Defense Doctrine Web Site Goes Dark at and Defense doctrine web site goes dark (there doesn't seem to be a link to the particular post) at ISIL's Rational Review News, note that the Department of Defense replaced 'hundreds or thousands of doctrinal and other publications, ... by a single page that reads "File Not Found"'.

Secrecy News' post states:
One of those publications was a draft entitled "Joint Doctrine for Detainee Operations" (JP 3-63) that was circulated by Human Rights Watch and others and that was widely and critically reported in the press today.Another was a draft "Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations" (JP 3-12), that was spotlighted and cleverly analyzed by Jeffrey Lewis of ArmsControlWonk.com earlier this week.In response, the Defense Department removed those draft documents, but also many hundreds of others. A DTIC spokesman was not immediately available for comment.A selection of DoD Joint Publications and other doctrinal documents previously available through DTIC remains available on the FAS web site here:
