After Action Reports

Below you will see three versions of the after action reports. The original version is just the way I received it with no changes.

The cleaned version is a copy of the original version with all the stray marks, smudges, etc removed. I found some pages in the originals that were up-side-down. That was corrected on the clean version.

On the restored version I converted the oringinal PDF pages to Microsoft Word so I could replace any weak or hard to read letters, words and sometimes a string of words. I tried to be careful but there is a chance I may have typed in something wrong. If you see something that doesn't look or sound right you can compare it against the original PDF document. I then converted the repaired Microsoft Word pages back to PDF format. If you find any mistakes please let me know so I can fix the errors.

More of these after action reports are available on the 39th Engineer Battalion Alumni wep site at: http://39thengrbn.com
