ROSTERS

AIR FORCE  -- No rosters exist for AF organizations (only AAF/AC units prior to 12/31/43)

ARMY

Consolidated rosters of an organization for the entire period of its existence are not available.  Monthly rosters of commissioned and enlisted personnel, which contain names and service numbers but do not show home addresses, are generally available for the years 1912 through 1943.  Army rosters for the years 1944, 1945, and 1946 were destroyed in accordance with the General Records Schedule, and are no longer available.  The Department of the Army created monthly rosters; however, in most cases, only biannual rosters were retained as permanent records for the years 1947 through 1974.  There are no rosters available at this Center beyond these dates.

The Department of the Army began using Social Security Numbers as identifiers, rather than service numbers, in 1969.  Rosters for that date and beyond will show Social Security Numbers; however, that information is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 and MUST be deleted before copies are released.

Rosters can be furnished on a limited basis for a fee.  The fees assessed for furnishing personnel rosters are as follows:
 

Searching and Processing: $13.25 per hour
Copies (first six pages): $  3.50 per hour
Each Additional Page: $    .10 per hour
Minimum Charge: $  8.30 per hour

NOTE:  Search fees apply whether or not we locate the requested information and a deposit of $8.30 is required before we begin the search.
