New guides coming out soon from the Department of the Army too. There is a joint task force putting together the specific settings for the OS by Army and Navy which will be merged together into one doc and an XML set will be created that can be fed into a program to apply the settings automatically for you if you want.

Wait, I wouldn't trust army setting in whole :P NSA spies whole US lol, why trust army ;) Anyhow the guide will be a nice read, you got any release date for it?
