TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Authors of Army doctrine and field manuals are launching a pilot project to collect reaction from soldiers and officers on a Wiki site.

The goal is to make the manuals living, breathing documents and not let them become stale.

Clint Anker, director of the Army's Combined Arms Directorate at Fort Leavenworth, says the 90-day pilot program will take comments regarding seven manuals. Eventually, there could be as many as 250
manuals online available for comment.

Wiki is a computer program that allows users to add, delete or edit information on an Internet site. Comments can be posted on the site by anyone with an Army identification card.
