Unit lineage and honors are under the purview of The U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH). CMH is a separate entity from The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC).

Regarding how to request an official lineage and honors certificate, the CMH online policy states:

"Commanders of currently active MTOE units can submit a request to CMH on unit letterhead for the preparation of a new lineage and honors certificate. Requests should include a return mailing address and point of contact. Only after the certificate has been prepared will the lineage information be posted to CMH Online. Lineage information for inactive units will not be posted to CMH Online. Lineage information posted to CMH Online will not be updated to reflect changes in unit status (such as an inactivation) or honors until a new certificate has been prepared at the request of the unit commander."

Official requests for the preparation of new Lineage and Honors Certificates or Statements of Service must be submitted in writing on unit letterhead, addressed to:

U.S Army Center of Military History
ATTN: AAMH-FPO
102 4TH AVE BLDG 35
FORT MCNAIR, DC 20319-5060
