If CW is dead....why do the US Army Field Manuals provide instructions for
setting up SINGCARS-V radios in CW mode?

Answer: For the same reason that, if you search the web long enough,
you might possibly come up with all or part of an operating manual for
an old military spark-gap transmitter - namely that a lot of
information about old military stuff can be found on the Internet.

For example, I followed the link above, only to find myself staring at
part of the instructions for the AN/VRC-45 and AN/VRC-49 radios. Not
unlike the use of CW in US military communications, these two radios
are obsolete, having been replaced by the AN/VRC-93 UHF TACSAT (as in
TACtical SATellite) radios.
