Painting, Camp in Northern Ireland
CAMP IN NORTHERN IRELAND
by Harrison Standley
 
Order of Battle (a numerical listing of the US Army, to include Army Air Force, units stationed in Northern Ireland).  

Station List (arranged alphabetically by locale, this document provides the most complete data available on which units were at which towns or camps and the dates of arrival and departure from each; it is heavily footnoted to provide possible alternative information).  

Army Air Force Unit Information (arranged numerically, this tabulation is less reliable than the documents addressing the ground forces because primary historical responsibility for the Army Air Forces lies with the United States Air Force historical program).  

Chronology (a chronological listing of key pacing events with primary focus on the initial MAGNET Force occupation).  

List of Key Personnel (preliminary in nature and focused on the overall commanders and staff officers at the higher headquarters, rather than in the units). 

List of Army Post Offices (a simple table of all Army Post Office numbers which were tied to Northern Ireland).
