Morning Reports
Morning Reports were daily records kept by U.S. Army units during World War II. They noted where the unit was on a given day and tracked important changes, such as soldiers being transferred, promoted, wounded, missing, or on leave.
These reports don’t describe battles but give a detailed look at the movement and status of individual soldiers. For anyone researching a family member’s service, Morning Reports are a key source to trace their journey through the war.
Researching Morning Reports through the U.S. National Archives can be a challenging and time-consuming process. At Footsteps Researchers, we take care of this work for you—for a fee—using our expertise to locate and obtain the exact reports you need. To give you an idea of what we can provide, we’ve made the Morning Reports of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions available on our website as an example of the research we can do on your behalf.
