City, Sate/Country Zip
Sgt. Nobody Johnson
A co 1/24 AR BN (Armor Battalion)

This person would be with Alpha Company of the 1st of the 24th Armor Battalion stationed in Hamburg Germany
Something like that?

The letters and numbers in the address are the unit he is in at basic, his address will change as he changes units or locations as will the numbers and letters. They do get shortened ex. USAH-United States Army Hospital, CSH-Combat Support Hospital, ID-Infantry Divsion. I think you get it. Hope it helps.

It probably said something like
Co A, 35th Eng. CO
First, they use a phonetic letter of the alphabet to identify the company. If you just say "A" on the radio you may not understand it so even when not on the radio they say "Alpha." So depending what letter his company is… he will say I am in Alpha Company or Bravo Company, Charlie… and so on.
The numbers identify the unit and what type of unit he is in, for example, on one fort, all of the 795’s may be MP’s, all of the 797’s may be engineers and so forth. Then they will have a more specific unit number to identify which of the MP or engineer, etc. units they belong too.
Co. A — Phonetic Letter Identification
795 (or similar) — Type of Job
Unit # 75 — Specific Unit in that battalion
1rst, 2nd, or 3rd Platoon — The companies may have up to 220 soldiers but they break them down into training groups or mission groups called platoons. He will be assigned to the 1rst, 2nd, 3rd, etc. I haven’t ever seen more than 4 though.

IN or INF stands for Infantry. REG or REGT. stands for regiment. Co. stands for Company. The number are for the unit.
like A Co. 2-29 Inf Regt would mean A Company 2nd Battalion 29th Infantry Regiment.
