Consists of reports, correspondence, maps, and some ephemera and printed material of the Portuguese army officer Lieutenant Colonel Fausto Laginha dos Ramos from during the Portuguese Colonial War where he fought for the colonial forces in the wars of independence in both Angola and Guinea-Bissau (then Guiné).

The collection consists primarily of Fausto Laginha dos Ramos's drafts, reports, and memoranda for operations that he conducted, some of which were marked "secret" or "confidential", along with accompanying maps. There are manuscript drafts of his advance battle plans and after-action reports for 20 different counterguerrilla operations in Guinea-Bissau (which includes a few maps), with documents regarding operations, headquarters reports, and mission planning, as well as a few mimeographed soldiers' magazines published in Guiné, including issues from Estrela do Norte and Azimute. There are typescript advance plans and after-action reports for 21 distinct operations in northern Angola, which are accompanied by a couple dozen manuscript maps, a few photographs from when he was assigned commander to Batalhões de Caçadores 2891. The collection also includes a few training and operational manuals from then Major Laginha's time as an infantry training officer in Luanda, Angola, two of which he had compiled and/or edited. There is also a small amount of ephemera such as invitations, event programs, menus, and plans regarding Laginha and Batalhões de Caçadores 2891's departure from Angola and their return to base in Tomar, Portugal.
