Roster's  - Form DA3053 Includes any official military personnel rosters, or manifest, ie. company, platoon, squad, etc. Not all are on file and some are of very poor quality due to processing for microfiche at the National Archives.  Officers Rosters (Battalion) were compiled separately from enlisted personnel. Official company rosters were collected by Brigade Headquarters and available in a computerized format in the first and third quarters of each year of deployment during the Vietnam War.

Among the reasons for being listed on a morning report are: Promotion or demotion - Being killed, wounded or missing in action - Being assigned to a unit, or leaving a unit permanently or temporarily- Going to a hospital for inpatient treatment and receiving light duty, or to another activity for training. Not all are on file and some are of very poor quality due to processing on microfiche at the National Archives.

S3 Daily Staff Journal-Duty Officer's Log - Form DA1594 Are created each day, as the name implies, to record the operational (S3) activities of the Battalion's units for each 24 hour period. Soldiers names, units, assignments, and communications are often listed. Some are very comprehensive and detailed, some are not depending on the year and type of operations being performed by the Battalion. If a platoon (detachment) or company is located separate from the Battalion very little information of their activities if any, is listed on the report.
