U.S. Army Basic Training Yearbooks (1950s–1980s) — Fort Dix, Fort Benning, Fort Jackson, Fort Campbell, Fort Knox & Fort Leonard Wood

This index is a time machine through the Army’s training pipeline from the 1950s to the 1980s—linking directly to unit yearbooks with rosters, portraits, leadership pages, and unique training features. It’s not just memorabilia; it’s structured evidence for teaching the Cold War and Vietnam eras, tracing individual service, and documenting how the force modernized and diversified. 🧭
