How to Find a Unit Address for Someone in the Army
There is a wide range of Army unit addresses, so you have to know specifically what strategic and tactical units the soldier you are looking for belongs to. For example, a soldier might serve in the 82nd Airborne Division, which is based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. A Division is further divided into Brigade Combat Teams and those into Battalions, Companies and Platoons. Units of various sizes have web sites that provide phone directories for contacting particular units. Be aware that security is a concern for the Army and people other than immediate family might find it problematic to get a specific unit address for a soldier.

Tips & Warnings
The U.S. military is at war and security is a serious concern. Especially since the Fort Hood murders, the Army is careful about giving out information about soldiers. Immediate family members have a much easier time getting information than friends.
Some soldiers are in sensitive positions and their addresses will not be made available to anyone.
