seanmc1114 Posted April 17, 2013 #201 Posted April 17, 2013 Lt. William Calley wearing the 11th Light Infantry Brigade SSI as a combat patch as opposed to the Americal Division. Also note that he is not wearing any ribbons. I believe Army regulations at the time said that ribbons could not worn while a soldier was being court martialled but for some reason badges could.

kyhistorian01 Posted April 18, 2013 #208 Posted April 18, 2013 Photo of Col Charles H. Burch, US Army wearing the 1st Corp patch as a combat patch for WWII Service. Picture taken in 1959.
seanmc1114 Posted April 18, 2013 #209 Posted April 18, 2013 Col. William Haight, commander of the Engineer Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, places a Sapper tab on the shoulder of a Co. B, 65th Engineer Bn. soldier Dec. 11, 2004 on Kirkuk Air Base, Iraq. Nothing unusual about the 1st Infantry Division being worn as a combat patch except for the fact it is a full color Army green version being worn on a uniform with otherwise all desert subdued insignia. It would be interesting to see which version is on the other sleeve. Click to view the full image and note one of the partially obscured soldiers further down the line is wearing a desert subdued 1st Infantry Division SSI as a combat patch.

firefighter Posted April 20, 2013 #221 Posted April 20, 2013 Nope, it's a new version of an Intelligence Brigade, designed to provide a commander with situational awareness in the AOR. Had a feeling it had something to do with that.What are the primary MOS's for these type of units, Infantry or Intell?
