Dalek Combat Training Manual

"The Daleks pose an existential threat to all life in the known universe. In order for field operatives to form better strategies to contain or eliminate this menace, data has been collected about these creatures, from their origins on the planet Skaro to their campaign of galactic domination throughout space and time."

- Introduction to the Daleks.

The Dalek Combat Training Manual was a guide to the Daleks for Time Lords preparing for battle in the Last Great Time War, written at least in part by the Eleventh General. The information within was, according to the General, willingly taken from the Doctor's memories as well as the Matrix, including events from the Doctor's relative future. The entries within the manual were annotated by the General on how the Time Lords might take advantage of the various Dalek weaknesses that the Doctor had exposed, although it warned that any entries in the Doctor's relative future should only be taken as theoretical. Sensitive materials, such as the Eternal Dalek or the Hybrid, and predictions about the end of the Time War, such as the Fall of Gallifrey or the Siege of Trenzalore, were redacted by the War Council. The manual was published at a stage in the War where the Time Lords were attempting to locate Susan, (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) preceding her accepting Gallifrey's request to join the war effort despite the objections of the Eighth Doctor.
