Registry, service life, hull classifications, and crew logs.

Air Squadrons

Ground Forces

Divisional lineage, battle honors, and tactical organization.

What Makes a Complete Record?

Why Document Units?

Units are the "homes" for history in our archive.

Structural Context

By building out unit histories, you create the framework where personal stories and photos can be correctly attached, ensuring they are found by researchers studying that specific era or branch.

Targeted Research

Every detail you add—from decommissioning dates to tactical assignments—becomes searchable, helping veterans find former shipmates and helping historians find primary source data.
