I find it vary difficult to find the exact location of Army Shipping Command units ... I can normally find the area (New Guinea, Netherlands Indies or Philippine Islands) but only a few with the location within those general areas: Can someone help with the locations of:
Debarkation Units
Anchorage Units
Shipping Engineer Units

They moved several times during the war. So, it is difficult to show the detailed location of them. I write one example.

5th Shipping Engineer Regiment
Rabaul --> Guadalcanal --> Rabaul --> Lae -->Wewak --> Madang --> Finschhafen --> Sio (correct spelling is unknown) --> Gari (correct spelling is unknown) --> Mushu Island

Units are many. So, I cannot search for such detailed information of all units. If you want to do it by yourself, refer to 陸軍船舶部隊略歴 at JACAR.
