AAR, Morning Reports, Journals, etc for the 39th Signal Battalion attached to the 178th Signal Company for the time period of April 1, 1964-April 1, 1965

Hello,

I am trying to obtain AARs, Morning Reports, Journals, etc for the 39th Signal Battalion attached to the 178th Signal Company for the time period of April 1, 1964-April 1, 1965, for my uncle. He was a radio repair man who was dropped in different locations throughout Vietnam and he wants to know those locations.

Thank you for any and all assistance.

    Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

     

    We searched the National Archives Catalog and located a series titled Signal Unit Records, ca. 1965 - ca. 1973 in the Records of the U.S. Forces in Southeast Asia (Record Group 472) that includes the records of the 39th Signal Battalion and 178th Signal Company during the Vietnam War. For more information about these non-digitized records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RR2R) at archives2reference@nara.gov.

    We suggest that you request a copy of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) and individual medical reports for those who served in the U.S. Army after 1959 and before October 16, 1992 are in the custody of NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 and mail it to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO  63138-1002. Veterans and next of kin of deceased veterans also may use eVetRecs to request records. See eVetRecs Help for instructions. If there is any information requested by the form that you do not know, you may omit it or provide estimates (such as for dates), but the more information you provide, the easier it will be to locate the correct file. Certain information in the records is not available to the general public without the written consent of the Veteran or the next of kin the deceased veteran. If you are the next of kin of a deceased veteran, you must provide proof of death of the veteran such as a copy of death certificate, letter from funeral home, or published obituary. For more information see Request Military Service Records.

    We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
