This section doesn’t currently include any content. Add content to this section using the sidebar.
THULS have become ubiquitous within the military community ever since they were widely distributed for deployments and all that GWOT money flowed from the mythical golden goose. Those days might be over, but THULS dominates as the standard for all-weather reference books with an infinite write and rewrite capability. So, don't get helocast off some coastline with laminated paper that's going to leak and turn into mush.

THULS are all Made in the USA by a few back-woods country boys up somewhere in the woods of New Hampshire or Vermont.

THULS + MICRO
We developed the Battle Board Micro specifically for the THULS and STāNOTE. All three work together as a complete pocket information system.
ALL WEATHER
THULS works equally well covered in mud as it does in a classroom. Don't let the rain threaten you with a good time.
REFERENCE BOOKS
Find the information you need, ready for the field, and with the capability to write on the sheets, erase, and rewrite.
ANOTHER JARHEAD STORY
HISTORY OF THULS
LEAVE PAPER IN THE HEAD, TAKE THULS & STāNOTES TO THE FIELD INSTEAD.
Paper manuals get destroyed in the environments where military, police, and fire fighters work. The Marine Corps infantry, knuckle-dragging geniuses over at MIR (another acronym... STOP!) decided in the “2000’s,” to take the giant leap forward and print on a plastic. It’s slightly textured, so you can write on the cards, but not textured enough to wipe yourself with. They also gave an entire industry the middle finger and decided to disregard all of the common paper and notebook sizes.
That’s where Battle Board comes in to the rescue. We took pity on the boys up in New Hampshire or Vermont or wherever they are and designed a case specifically for the THULS books that have become ubiquitous within the field-manual obsessed community.
So, leave the paper one the roll and get outside with THULS & STāNOTE sheets.

MICRO SYSTEM
THULS ENHANCEMENT SKIN
We designed the Micro system around THULS data books and worked with MIR to launch a full set of templates, reference cards, and the revolutionary STāNOTE polymer sheets. Everything works together to form a complete reference and communication system in your pocket.
