'What Is This?': Army Enlisted Leader's Long-Promised Blue Book Underwhelms Soldiers

"A year ago, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer, just two months into the role, promised soldiers a new app that would allow them to carry a rundown of service regulations and policies in their pockets.

The so-called Army-wide "Blue Book" was a centerpiece of Weimer's plans for his first year in the leadership role -- and of his resolute emphasis on discipline. The book would have all of the service's regulations and be updated in real time, saving soldiers the trouble of wading through scattered and difficult-to-parse policy documents."
