Seeking Army medic at Ft. Sill in 1968

Carol Saltsgaver Nov 11, 2019 9:33 PM

I do not know the name of my biological father. I do know that he served as an Army medic at Ft. Sill in 1968. How do I go about finding this kind of information?

Dear Ms. Saltsgaver,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located a series titled General Orders and Other Records, 1959 - 1974 in the Records of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (Record Group 553) that includes various reporting files of the U.S. Army Medical Department Activity (MEDDAC). For access to these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

Morning reports for Army units dated 1960-1974 are in the custody of NARA's National Personnel Records Center 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.

We also suggest that you search these websites Fort Sill; Locating Veterans and Service Members; and Army Units: Find Airborne. Special Forces, and Reserve Units for additional information and resources.

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