     a. HOW TO OBTAIN MATERIALS (SHARP, IPPS-A, MFT, ETC.). I'm a Reservist 42B trying to update the materials around my unit that look extremely outdated (as if from the 80's or 90's) or include QR codes to websites that no longer exist. I've checked PUBS but didn't see anything close to what I'm looking for. We need updated SHARP posters, ideally some IPPS-A promotional posters or pamphlets, and anything for our Master Resiliency Trainer to boost their visibility within the drill hall. Does anyone know how I could go about requesting/ordering these materials? https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1010987
