The Morning Report is a daily record of the Company and the soldiers assigned to it. They were filed every morning and cover a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight. Morning Reports are exception based. They do not list each soldier assigned to the Company, but only those whose status changed during the 24 hour period being reported. This includes men who were newly assigned or those dropped from duty with the Company for any reason (for example, those transferred to another unit, being treated in a hospital, on furlough, or men Killed in Action). They also include information on changes in rank and Military Occupation Specialty (MOS - the job duties assigned to a soldier). Morning Reports record the location of the Company (most likely the Company Headquarters) and how many men were assigned as of that day. They occasionally include troop movements, weather, or other miscellaneous information.
