Does anyone know if this is an official military website?
http://armypubs.army.mil/doctrine/Active_FM.html
If this is an official site there is something there I want to read, but when I click on the PDF link thingy I get a message saying:
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to armypubs.us.army.mil, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
------------------
I have had this happen before on sites that I know for sure are official government sites, and I don't get that message when I initially go to that site, I just get it when I try to open a PDF.
Can anyone help me out with this please?

Site seems fine to me and checks out as per whois
Certificates expire or is not pushed is one of the reasons why you were prompted by firefox or firefox could not interpret the security certificate.
Another way a site can be configured is a security certificate is needed to access certain areas of a site, and the certificate is install on the client machines, ie. laptops / desktops. The responding server requests the certificate credentials, if none is presented a flag is registered as in your firefox "Get me out of here" since the server does not push a security certificate, but firefox reads that the server is setup in such a manner, in which case, the server may issue a temporary certificate.
This is a cliff notes of your issue, and I really do not feel like explaining the complete hand shake, hand off.

I went to the site you linked to and got the same thing in regards to some of those pdf's. Like I said, the client computer needs a certificate installed to access some of those pdf files.

And then there's this.
QUOTE Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.
After 1st BCT finishes its dwell-time mission, expectations are that another, as yet unnamed, active-duty brigade will take over and that the mission will be a permanent one.
I like the notation at the bottom of the article. After the ACLU and others went after them.
QUOTE Correction:
A non-lethal crowd control package fielded to 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, described in the original version of this story, is intended for use on deployments to the war zone, not in the U.S., as previously stated.
