There's a specific font? I have B-GL-331-003/FP-001 Military Symbols for Land Operations here in front of me and I can't find any specific font indication.

I just went to the Army Electronic Library to look for more information but got this:

Might be an outdated set, but it's all I can find on this system.

On this note, and since the AEL is down, does anyone know who to contact WRT ordering hardcopies of PAMS?

The Army Electronic library is up and running, I was just on it.  Here is an up to date link: http://lfdts.kingston.mil.ca/dad/ael/Publications.aspx. (DWAN only)

Base Pubs Library or unit pubs library if you have one.  It is unlikely the AEL will ever be available on the internet again.

Stumbled across a bunch of map symbols that 1 Bde apparently used at MR four years ago.  Each unit had a unique colour scheme for quicker identification.  If anyone is interested in using such things:

I know it's an old thread, but...

The old standard was APP-6A.  The new standard is MIL-STD-2525D (https://www.jcs.mil/Portals/36/Documents/Doctrine/Other_Pubs/ms_2525d.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiD54C-9JroAhUmknIEHdIOAjYQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3RMdvardJv6yMt81S5hQ2s)

Here is a set if TrueType fonts: http://www.mapsymbs.com

To be pedantic, APP-6D is the new NATO standard.
MIL-STD-2525D is the current US standard.
Generally, the two standards are the same ... to include a whole lot of US specific content in the NATO standard and a dirth of anything specific to any other NATO member.

Yes.  I see that now too.

Anyway, this site's wiki has been a little difficult for me over the last few months so I've loaded my library to the parent (which leaves the files still accessible to the local wiki).  If you need a map symbol, it might be here:
