Administrative Records

Along with the individual unit records, the 103rd Infantry Division was also responsible for keeping and maintaining records for both their soldiers and equipment. One example of such a document that was created was the TO&E (Table of Organization and Equipment). The TO&E documented all of the personnel, weapons by type, and equipment that the division had. Most of the equipment that was recorded on the TO&E was field equipment that would issued before the unit went to join the frontlines. These records were essential for maintaining accountability of weapons, equipment, and personnel.

There were also administrative records and tasks that, while not directly combat related, would have been deemed essential for the morale of the soldiers. One of the most overlooked records and jobs in the military would have been the payroll records for each individual soldier. There were also the administrative records that the graves registration teams would have to fill out for soldiers who were killed. All of these administrative records were important for keeping the 103rd Infantry Division operational during the war.
