The_Brick Posted August 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2014 The O POS/ROMCATH stands for Blood Type O+ and his religion, Roman Catholic. BRE 9026 looks to be the first three letters of his last name and the last four digits of his social security number. Nice find. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-E Posted October 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2014 I bought the other similar DCU : I found nothing about the previous owner (Specialist Breed, 256th Infantry Division), sadly ! I assume this top has been used in Iraq in 2004-2005 because the 256th Infantry Division was deployed there at that time : "During train up for operations in the spring, summer and fall of 2004, the 256th Infantry Brigade was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. The Brigade then completed a NTC rotation at Fort Irwin, California. The brigade spent another month training in the desert of Camp Buehring, Kuwait prior to moving into Iraq. In 2004–2005 the 256th Brigade was sent to Iraq as part of OIF III (Operation Iraqi Freedom III, the third U.S. military rotation of forces into the area of operations). It served under the 1st Cavalry Division for its first five months and its last several months under the 3rd Infantry Division. During the first half of its combat tour in Iraq some of the brigade's subordinate units also served under the 10th Mountain Division. The brigade served in and around Baghdad, Iraq in a FOB known originally as FOB Victory until 15 June 2004. At this date FOB Victory's name was changed to FOB Liberty because on this date the Iraqi government officially "stood up". Upon the 256th's arrival at North Liberty it became Camp Tigerland. During operations in theater the brigade operated under the configuration of one-third heavy and two-thirds light."
