UNITS

Note to researchers: The following segment of this guide is arranged by branch of

service, with individual units listed thereunder. Due to inconsistencies in the format of

reporting the units that individuals served in, the units are listed in either a numeric

section or an alphabetical section. It is suggested that researchers check under all

possible designations of a particular unit, from highest level of organization (Army,

Corps, Air Force, etc.) to smallest (Battalion, Company, etc.), in case the full designation

of the unit was not provided. Individuals which stated only their branch of service are

not included in this portion of this guide, since that information can be readily obtained

from the “Finding Aid At a Glance” created for the entire VHP collection.
