 The Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RR2RR) has custody of the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1917- (Record Group 407) and the Records of U.S. Army Operational, Tactical, and Support Organizations (World War II and Thereafter) (Record Group 338). Military unit files among these records consist mostly of historical reports, after action reports, unit journals, and general orders. These records do not include personnel information, nor do we have a name index to these records. 
 
 A search of our available finding aids indicates that we have a total of 87 boxes of records pertaining to the Ninety-Fourth U.S. Infantry Division and the subordinate units assigned to it. The citation for these records is as follows: 
 
 Record Group 407 
 Entry (NM3) 427 
 Boxes 11344-11431 
 
 Of these records, 40 boxes contain records of the various division staffs. The citation for these records is as follows: 
 
 Record Group 407 
 Entry (NM3) 427 
 Boxes 11344-11384 
 
 Each box contains 800-1600 pages of documentation. As you can see, there is a substantial amount of records for the division. 
 
 Military service personnel files and individual medical reports for the period in which you are interested are in the custody of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO.

You should complete and mail the form to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002.

 Copies of most of the monthly rosters from 1912-43 and 1947-59 for U.S. Army units (including Army Air Corps) are in the custody of the National Archives in St. Louis, MO. Please contact them for access to these records. The address is the National Archives in St. Louis, 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002 and the email address is stl.archives@nara.gov . Rosters for units serving in World War II from 1944-46 were destroyed in accordance with U.S. Army disposition authorities during the early postwar period.
