Alphabetical List of Guerrilla Units and Their File Codes in the Guerrilla Unit Recognition Files

A-E

Because of the complexity and number of the names of guerrilla units, this list has been alphabetized as if the numbers of numbered units were spelled out and as if abbreviations were spelled out. Thus, “14th Inf. Rgt.” precedes “4st Inf. Rgt.” as “fourteenth” precedes “fourth;” and “HQ” [headquarters] precedes “Heroes.” Moreover, the unit names are taken from labels in the records and thus vary in style. For example, the researcher looking for “Company A” should check this list under both that label and “A Company” or “A Co.”

A B C D E F-O P-Z

For definitions of abbreviations, refer to the Philippine Archives Collection: Glossary of Initialisms, Abbreviations, and Acronyms. To learn more about the collection, visit The Journey of the Philippine Archives Collection pages.

For more information about the records, see the full National Archives Catalog description of the series Guerrilla Unit Recognition Files, 1941 - 1948 National Archives Identifier 1257644).
