Soft launch: Soldier biographies and research notes vary in completeness. Prefer class-roster, NARA, newspapers, and other cited sources for contested facts — treat Research notes as leads, not settled history. Anyone can correct a page; contact us with questions.

By specialty points into Camp Ritchie’s training tracks — the intelligence specialties counted in By The Numbers/Eight Week Courses by Specialties and described in the faculty section legend.
These are training specialties, not a complete postwar occupational index. Soldier pages may list a specialty or class section when the roster recorded one; many profiles still lack that field.
