How may I obtain historical operational information about a particular Army unit?
A. The National Archives has historical operational information on Army units. For military information for 1941 and prior, contact the National Archives One at (202) 501-5390. For military information from 1942 and later, contact the National Archives Two at (301) 713-7250. The U.S. Army Military History Institute maintains an extensive collection of unit histories. Biographies for such histories can be accessed online at http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/UnitHistories.html. Once a history has been identified, you can contact your local library to inquire about interlibrary load possibilities. You also may wish to investigate out-of-print book dealers in your area if you wish to see about purchasing such items.
