The U.S. Armed Services Center for Research of unit Records (CRUR), formerly Environmental Support Group (ESG), provides research in support of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) claims, Agent Orange exposure and provides information for veterans to obtain unit records. The CRUR will research records concerning PTSD claims for specific stress incidents without charging the veteran or the requestor.

If you feel you have been exposed to Agent Orange, please provide the dates you were assigned to your units in Vietnam, unit designations and base camp locations.

If you desire to file a claim for disability , please contact your local Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office (VARO). Also, call or write your local VA office to receive information concerning PTSD or how to file a claim. A local service officer from one of the major veterans organizations can also provide information and assistance.

If you need information about casualties from the Vietnam War, please provide as close to the date as possible, the individual's full name, unit designation and a brief description of the incident. If this information is not available, please provide as much information on the casualty as you can recall.

In order to provide information concerning attacks, please provide as much of the following information as you can: date of the incident (as close as you can remember), type and location of the attack, numbers and full names of casualties, unit designations to the company level, and other units involved. The more detailed the information, the better chance of successful research.

Requests for research should include a copy of your DA Form 20. This form is maintained in your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). You may request a copy of your OMPF by writing to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), ATTN: U.S. Army Liaison, 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132. The OMPF will also provide medical records, unit and duty assignments, and orders of personnel actions such as promotions, awards and commendations.
