Beginning with the search for a class graduation program or company class roster in February 1995, a data base was begun that materialized into The OCS at Fort Knox Project. “The Project” has accounted for nearly half of our 4321 graduates, many company officer cadre and several OC Brigade Staff members. It has rekindled old friendships, conducted reunions, and authored the only published account of the OCS program at Ft. Knox. 

     Significantly, The Project was successful in placing the compiled files and documents that make up the history of OCS at Fort Knox during the Vietnam War, with two archives cementing ‘our’ history forever.  Our digitized files are now in the archives of The Donovan Research Library at Fort Benning, Georgia and have been added to the collections from the Armor School Research Library now incorporated in the Donovan Library.  Hard copy of those files and items of physical memorabilia have been donated to The Vietnam Center and Archive at Texas Tech University – Lubbock.  The Donovan Library has not determined when our collection will be available physically or on line.  Their website is www.benning.army.mil/Library/. 

The hard copy collection at The Vietnam Center and Archive have been added to the archive and are now awaiting processing.  It’s felt that the collection will be physically available in two years or less and ten years before it’s on line.  Visit their website at www.vietnam.ttu.edu to see how fortunate we are to have our history preserved at The Vietnam Center and Archive. 

     Additionally, complimentary copies of our book have been donated to These Institutions.
