U.S. Army Installations – World War II: A Research Reference
During the period of World War II (1939 – 1946) the U.S. was divided into a series of commands on a geographic basis. These Service Commands, 1 through 9, were for the continental U.S. and were a management tool for the military to better direct the nation’s wartime efforts – they were comprised of groups of states. As of this time, 7 of the 9 volumes have been completed:
During World War II, the military divided the U.S. into a series of zones called Service Commands – One through Nine. They were aggregations of contiguous states that represented “bite-size” groups easier to deal with administratively. While no other such research effort has ever addressed this element of our military history, this series looks at (a) each Service Command; (b) each state within each Service Command; and (c) each branch of service therein: Army Ground Forces, Army Air Forces, Army Service Forces, and Prisoner of War Camps. . . and the appendices provide a delineation of each unit stationed at each station (post, camp, etc.) by time periods of aggregation by the War Department.

The series was developed from personal visits to existing and former army air fields, army posts and camps, former POW camp sites, and a host of service installations across the expanse of the country. In the site visits, the author photographed existing and remnants of the installations, researched in local libraries, museums, and historical societies and interviewed everyone possible.
