BG Alan D. Warnock Papers
The BG Alan D Warnock collection is an open, processed
collection of material collected by BG Warnock during his military career.
The material is organized in one box by year. Within each
year, the material is organized by subject, related materials being kept
together. The papers, books and pamphlets were not in any organizational scheme
when the archives received them.
Collection Description
BG Warnock served in the U.S. Army from 1913 until 1946.
The material in the collection does not cover his entire career, but is
fragmentary. It begins with his attendance at the Company Officer Basic Course
at Fort Benning, GA in 1920 and ends in 1946.
The bulk of the collection deals with his time in Hawaii
from 1931-1935. This includes official plans and memorandums relating to
exercises conducted annually in Hawaii. There are some reports of various boards
BG Warnock sat on, including courts martial and planning for future
transportation needs of the Army in Hawaii.
There is also a lot of material from his time as an
instructor at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth from
1937-1941.
In addition there is a small personal diary dealing with
his activities from June - July 1944, shortly after he participated in the
Normandy invasion with the 5th Infantry Division.
BG Warnock also donated a large personal book collection
that was given to the Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, PA.
