Designates the regiment. Spades-506th, Clubs 327th, Hearts-502nd. We used them in the late eighties, but not on our helmets. The position of the tic mark indicates battalion. IIRC, 9 oclock was 1st Bn, 12 was 2nd, 3 was 3rd, none was Regiment. Again, IIRC.

You do remember correctly. The 101st was still using the markings when I retired in '99. We had them stenciled on the vehicle windows along with the driver's name. Looks like they have added a few for the latest action. www.defenselink.mil/news/Oct2003/n10062003_200310066.html |
