My father was a veteran of the Vietnam War, and I'm trying to research the history of his battalion. How can I obtain classified government documents related to military plans?

These type of documents are usually available through theFreedom of Information Act (FOIA). You will need to submit a request, preferably in writing, to the appropriate government agency that contains a detailed description of the documents you are seeking. You may be required to provide identification and proof of your father's military service so that you can obtain access to his records.

You can contact the Army FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) team to request copies of relevant documents, or make a written request through your father's Veteran Affairs department. You may also find references to his battalion in other military sources such as books, reports, interviews and articles. Additionally, there are veteran's organizations and online forums which may have more detailed information about his battalion.
