HMA Modular Casebook

A modern approach to creating, maintaining, and distributing cadet reference materials—built for flexibility and collaboration.

The Vision

Replace traditional monolithic handbooks with a flexible, modular system. Instead of one massive book that's expensive to update, we'll create focused, individually-bound sections that can be updated independently.

Traditional Approach

  • Single volume, all content
  • Full reprint for any update
  • High revision costs

Modular Approach

  • Recipient-specific content
  • Update only what changes
  • Cost-effective revisions

We've initially organized the casebook into 10 content buckets and identified 72 proposed modular pages. Together, we'll collaborate on which pages to prioritize first.

The Binding Technology

We'll use the Pro-Bind 2000 thermal binding system. This professional-grade machine creates durable bound documents in seconds using heat-activated adhesive covers.
