As of this date, all enlisted personnel shown on unit Muster Rolls and Report of Changes to Muster Rolls have been added to the appropriate unit. Muster Rolls and Report of Changes are official personnel action reporting documents. The source for these documents is –
Muster Rolls of U.S. Navy Ships, Stations, and Other Naval Activities, 01/01/1939-01/01/1949; A-1 Entry 135, 10230 rolls, ARC ID: 594996. Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Record Group Number 24. National Archives at College Park, College Park, MD.
Officer’s rosters are not complete because of a different reporting method for them. Some ARGUS units have shown their officers in the Muster Rolls, others have not. There is inconsistency among the units. No policy for reporting officers assigned has been found to date.
I would like to thank all of the visitors and Group members that have contacted the site and provided information, documents, and photos that have helped contribute to and preserve the ARGUS story. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
If any visitor has additional information or questions about ARGUS personnel, please contact us.
