There is a DOD Press Release posted here (on FR) that announces the resumption of ASE's (Armed Services Editions) by three major publishers.

These cargo-pocket sized paperback books will be provided free of charge to service personnel assigned overseas. They are being designed to have the same look and feel as the editions published between '43 and '47 for soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines serving in WWII and during the occupation afterwards. First titles include:

"Medal of Honor: Profiles of America's Military Heroes from the Civil War to the Present," by Allen Mikaelian, with commentary by Mike Wallace (Hyperion, 2002).

"Henry V," by William Shakespeare (Dover, 2002).

"The Art of War," by Sun Tzu (Dover, 2002).

"War letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars," edited by Andrew Carroll (Washington Square Press/Simon & Schuster, 2002).

What an excellent idea! Publishers printing and sending books to our troops. Good find, and thanks for posting it, Jinxie.
