This is the first in a series of index topics that are meant to recapitulate all the resources we have on this forum.

Not only this should prevent the creation of duplicate topics, but it will also be a great source of inspiration and exploration by focusing on certain topics we might have overlooked.

Today's topic is U. S. TRAINERS. I have tried to list all the topics I could find, but I do not doubt for a minute that some others exist that will have escaped my scrutiny (not to mention bits from more general topics...). So if you can add to the list, please do!
