MrStiv Posted May 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2019 I'm a little confused regarding this shoulder sleeve insignia, which several Web sites say is for the 37 Transportation Group. Apparently, it was approved for wear in December 2005, but as far as I can suss out the 37th Transportation Group was redesignated as the 37th Transportation COMMAND in 1989. Complicating things even further, the 37th Transportation Command was inactivated in 2007. Is it possible that this insignia is really just for the 37th Transportation GROUP and it simply took the Army 16 years to approve the patch? Or was it approved for the 37th Transportation Group and then redesignated for the Command when the Group was redesignated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2019 Probably this, approved for the Command, the titling on sites as the "37th Trans Grp and what not is an error. Groups tend not to have a shoulder patches. here's what this unit wore before 2005. https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Transportation/USAREUR_37thTransGp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrStiv Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted May 20, 2019 Patches, I got my information from The Institute of Heraldry--everything I wrote at the very start came from there or Stars & Stripes (regarding the inactivation of the 37th Transportation Command). It is possible that the TIOH made an error and called the 37th Transportation Command the 37th Transportation Group.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStiv Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted May 20, 2019 Patches, my info regarding it being designated for the 37th Transportation Group in 2005 came from The Institute of Heraldry. Perhaps they got it wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
