I sent a request to the USACMH for the 7th SFGs updated Lineage and Honors. Below are the responses to my query; I will forward the info as I receive it. I got a good chuckle out of the responses--it's been a while since I've encountered that level of bureaucratic 'buck passing.'

Dear Mr. Hayse,

We will forward your inquiry to our force management branch. Someone in
that branch should be able to assist you.

Sincerely,

Gary

I'm forwarding a copy of your request to Mr. Frechette who is
responsible for SF and other lineages. Please be advised that he is
working on a number of other projects and may not be able to immediately
respond.

The other SF GP lineages may be posted (and not the 7th's) because I
believe that the last official lineage for the 7th SF GP was prepared in
the 1980s, and another may not have been requested by the unit since
that time. As indicated on the website, our current policy only posts
new lineage information to CMH ONLINE after new Lineage and Honors
Certificates have been provided to the requesting unit commanders.

FYI: Current GWOT campaign credits are being determined by the Army and
it will be a while before those are settled. I'm pretty sure that some
elements the 7th SF GRP have earned GWOT honors, but these may not be
included on the lineage depending on who and how they are cited.

I hope this information will be of assistance.
