 4/12th Cavalry AFTER ACTION REPORT AND HOW TO GET IT

 

The following information was taken from http://www.war-stories.com/after-action.htm

I used step one (I did not attempt to use the second step) of this information in securing the 5th Division, 1st Brigade S-2/3 daily journals, July 30 - Aug 5 1969. This information is posted in the history section of the website. The author of this article use the term "free"; in my case - free was a relative term - there is a .50 charge for copying each page. There was no charge for doing the research. Also since the turn around time can vary greatly, do not become discouraged or frustrated remember you are dealing with an under staffed and overworked group of people. I would recommend you do not request more than one week's search of the records at one time, due to the number of duplicated pages of information your search may access. The staffers copy every page they come across that is within the search framework.

If anyone should choose to pursue this means as a way to secure A Troop History please let us know so the effort, time, and expense will not be duplicated. Should a group of troopers wish to become involved in a project using this means of gathering information please let me know and I would be happy to coordinate the project. C. Cooper
