Army soldiers may move around frequently, so locating them can be difficult.
Trying to locate US Army soldiers sounds like a simple task, but it may take a month or so to get a reply if you are using the postal service. Fortunately, the US Army allows family and friends to inquire as to the whereabouts of a current Army soldier. Since military records are mostly private, it may be more difficult to find military personnel over civilians. The military must sift through hundreds of location requests, so you should be prepared to wait several weeks for a response.
