Yep, that's right, they can be found at the Command and General Staff College in pdf format, premium resource for scenario designers!

Good grief... this is going to take some absorbing. This blows everything else out of the water.

As a cautionary note, I've found the stuff is riddled with typos and even outright errors in translation. For example, I've bought a few printouts over the years: after some investigation, I determined that the 'ground attack' squadrons in one OOB were actually 'army cooperation.'

Not to downplay the value of this -- I bookmarked it right away -- but some care needs to be used when applying this stuff.

I noticed... cross-referring with other sources is the key, but nevertheless this is a great addition!

This is an amazing site. Not only are the OOBs a great resource but there is a variety of other information available including student papers from the Army's Command and General Staff College from back in the 1930s (at least - I haven't finished exploring this place) to the present day. Simply exploring the many other links available will take significant time - good thing that I'm retired.

That someone was me.

I've revised that and updated it 10 years later:

http://alternatewars.com/Nafziger/Nafziger.htm

In 2010, the contents of the Nafgizer Collection which was at the time 7,985 files (596 MB); were ripped (a process that took six hours) and duplicated on this website (AlternateWars.com). Nearly a decade later, the process was repeated, resulting in 10,048 files (685 MB) and a new online finding aid was constructed through OCR of the finding aid uploaded to CARL in 2011, as well as scraping the contents of the 2019 CARL website; to add Part II, which contains 800+ files covering the American Civil War that were scanned by Brett Schulte, and 800+ more files covering the 1600s and World War II.

Additionally, all 10,048 files were re-hosted locally (AlternateWars.com), to enable foreign researchers in countries like Russia and China to access them easily. (Official US Government websites (of which CARL is one) tend to IP-ban visitors from those countries due to a variety of reasons).
