Just found my grandfather discharge paperwork with his unit info and have also requested his records from the OPM archives. I was hoping someone could help me with some good sources or could answer a few questions.
He was part of D Co 66th AR possibly under 2AD and would have went ashore at Normandy around D+3 according to some sites I found.
My question is everything it listed by battalion such as 3/66 AR with no mention of the companies. I’m trying to figure out what battalion he was apart of and I’m wondering if no battalion had the same company designation in the regiment?
For example 1/66 has A-D Co, 2/66 has E-I Co etc... or did each battalion have the same designations for companies like A Co 1/66 and A Co 2/66?
Also turn out 66th AR was deployed to OEF in Paktika the same time I was which was also pretty cool.
