Master Searchable List
We have created a new searchable master list of soldiers serving in the Ghost Army. Access by pushing the button below.
This roster contains information on men from the following units:
- The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops
- 603 Camouflage Engineering Battalion Special
- 3132 Signal Service Company Special
- Signal Company Special
- 406 Engoneer Combat Company, Special
- The 3133 Signal Service Company Special (Operating independently in Italy)
- The Army Experimental Station at Pine Camp (where the 3132 and 3133 were trained)
- The 12th US Army Special Plans Branch (which planned the operations of the unit)
There is no single document containing all of the names of the soldiers who served. We have pulled this together from multiple different documents, as well as information on such sources as Fold3 and Ancestry. If you notice any errors, or have any suggestions, please email rick@ghostarmy.org
This list contains names of some soldiers in the 3132 or the 603rd who did not travel overseas when the units were deployed. These are noted with a "no" in the "ETO with GA" coumn.
In some cases there are personal comments on the men which come from some of the sources, for example, the document "3132 Caption List" by Bill Anderson.
We have set out to create bios of the soldiers. (See our Veteran Bios page.) If there is a longer bio of a soldier in the roster, there will be a link in the "Additional Bio Info" column.

Source Material
These are the most important sources on the list. Many of them were preserved by Bill Anderson, who served in the Signal Company Special, and donated his archive to the Ghost Army Legacy Project.
