During the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s the Army began issuing what was known as the XM16A1 assault rifle to its infantry units. Soon severe problems began emerging mostly due to improper instructions and cleaning kits the biggest one being "failure to extract." That necessitated numerous improvements and in 1967 the rifle was standardized as M16A1. Meanwhile cartoonist and author William Eisner 1917 - 2005 worked with The Pentagon for years producing teaching tools in a cartoon format easily understandable and relevant isuch as the current booklet in which a female narrator instructed the soldiers on the proper care for their rifles. Humorous and appealing chapter titles included: "How to Strip Your Baby" "All the Way with Neglige" and "Putting Maggie Together." A copy of the book was issued to practically every GI serving in Vietnam. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback books
