Long answer:

If the manual does not list a specific torque for a fastener then you are expected to use the standard torque charts for that grade fastener.

The military manuals do not list many torque values. They leave a lot to the standard torque charts. If you have a M38 it is nice to have a copy of the factory civvy service manual SM-1002 or if you own an M38A1/M170 then get a copy of SM-1046. Both of these offer a lot more specific torques.

You'll find some info in my photo album:

Here's the chart from the appendix of the flat fender civvy shop manual SM-1002.

Here's the chart from the 54 & up CJ civvy manual SM-1046:

You'll notice this later civvy manual offers a small standard torques chart.

The Short Answer:
12-17 Ft Lbs
