It’s a campaign begun years ago, as automatic transmissions began to become standard equipment on new cars, replacing, um, standard transmissions. “Save the Manuals” is the rallying cry.

During Fort Ord’s 20+ years as a barren maneuvers area and 50+ years as an active U.S. Army installation, its personnel, facilities, and equipment were a visible presence throughout the Monterey Peninsula.
