Official List of Officers of the Officers' Reserve Corps of the Army of the United States

The Official List of Officers of the Officers' Reserve Corps of the Army of the United States was compiled by the United States Adjutant-General's Office to serve as an authoritative directory of commissioned personnel. Emerging from the reorganization of the American military structure following the First World War, these volumes were essential administrative tools designed to track the status, rank, and branch of reserve officers who could be mobilized during a national emergency. The publication reflects the bureaucratic precision of the War Department during an era when the United States was formalizing its reserve components into a cohesive professional force.

The design of the volume adheres to the utilitarian standards of early twentieth-century government printing, prioritizing legibility and efficient data retrieval for military personnel offices. As a reference tool, it was not intended for general public consumption but rather for internal logistical coordination. The document is valued today primarily by genealogists and military historians as a comprehensive record of service, capturing a specific snapshot of the officer corps during the interwar period.
