439th Signal Battalion Posted January 27 Share #1279 Posted January 27 On 1/25/2024 at 9:49 AM, seanmc1114 said: Instructor with the US Army Vietnam Dog Training Detachment wearing a theater made 199th Infantry Brigade combat patch with a theater made 49th Infantry Platoon (Scout Dog) scroll Interesting that the handler is carrying an M-14. Carrying that instead of a CAR-15 while working the dog would have been difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted February 29 Author Share #1281 Posted February 29 The old Buckeye Division back in action again, the Combat Patch of the current 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team worn by former commander Matthew S. Woodruff and Adjutant General of the Ohio Army National Guard in 2021. Believe when he was in Afghanistan he was the Brigade Operations Officer, this being before he was promoted and took over the brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must have been one of if not the last WAC classes! I am pretty sure he would transfer over to the MP school and be a Drill over there for a few years. I might have a yearbook with him in it and better/more pics of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
