Americal Division Veterans Association FAQ
How do I get Americal Division Veterans Association membership information?

How can I locate a buddy of mine that I served with in the military?

The locator is classified by major unit and you can submit your request in a matter of minutes. For more information, go to the ADVA Locator
How do I find out what units were in the Americal Division?
The Americal Division Order of Battle for each era of activation is listed on the website. Some units were in the division for a long time. Others were assigned or attached for only a short time. The website does not yet contain a comprehensive listing of all units of all eras.
How do I get copies of military records and request medals that I have earned?
Requests can be made by veterans or their next of kin and should be made on a government form that is called the Standard Form 180. It provides information about the service history of the veteran and the specifics of the request being made. The form must be submitted to the appropriate Military Records Center.
How can I meet other Americal veterans?
The ADVA National Reunion is held each year in different cities across the country. The 2009 national reunion will be in Shreveport, LA in June. Regional chapters also schedule reunions from time to time. For other events that attract Americal veterans please click the Hot News button on the home page.
Why are some Americal units included on the website and others?
The ADVA website intends to cover all Americal units in a general sense. Some individual veterans have created web pages for their specific units and have requested that they be included within the ADVA website. After consideration of the merits of each request, these unit pages may be allowed to be posted on the server under the www.americal.org domain name.
Where can I purchase items which show the ADVA logo or the Americal Division insignia?
