seanmc1114 Posted August 24, 2016 Share #202 Posted August 24, 2016 What branch colors did warrant officers wear? This guy was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Would that be scarlet for Artillery which was a common branch for aviators before Aviation became a separate branch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be scarlet for Artillery which was a common branch for aviators before Aviation became a separate branch? Probably the Branch of Service color for his unit of assignment. If a pilot, red for artillery if in an Aerial Field Artillery organization. At least in my experience, for those times bib scarves were worn in formation or parades, we used to wear the unit color, not the particular color of individual MOS branches of service.

Cobra 6 Actual Posted August 25, 2016 Share #205 Posted August 25, 2016 What branch colors did warrant officers wear? This guy was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Would that be scarlet for Artillery which was a common branch for aviators before Aviation became a separate branch? That might be the Transportation Corps' Branch colors ... since the helicopter school is under that branch and it's colors are brick red and golden yellow. The Transportation Corps scarf, however, is just brick red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted September 1, 2016 Share #208 Posted September 1, 2016 A Hollywood Botch Job you Say? Yeah I think so, should be of course those Dark Green bibs for the Military Police Corps rather then what we're seeing, Red. The movie is STREAMERS, a fair movie from 1983, takes place circa 1967 at Ft Campbell in one of the units of the remaining brigades at Campbell. Those liners look no good too, do believe the 101 used your standard Black Liners like the rest of the MPs in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted October 14, 2016 Share #209 Posted October 14, 2016 Here's another one from 1982 showing the red and white Cavalry bib being worn by officers of the 1st Squadron 9th Cavalry. Notice that even though they are wearing olive green fatigues, some of the guys in the background appear to be wearing BDUs and a couple of these officers are wearing either Woodland or ERDL helmet covers.

seanmc1114 Posted January 14, 2017 Share #211 Posted January 14, 2017 Vaugn Ormon Doty was a squared away infantryman wearing all of the authorized Infantry accoutrements including the bib, shoulder cord and discs behind his collar and hat insignia. Also note he has so many qualification bars for his Expert Badge that he is wearing two of them presumably rather than wearing one badge with six bars. Anyone know if that was authorized? Unfortunately he was killed in action in Vietnam on January 13, 1969 while serving with the 1st Cavalry Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted February 5, 2017 Share #212 Posted February 5, 2017 Light (white?) bib with an unknown DUI worn by a member of the I Corps in Korea. Note the wear of the low quarter shoes with the fatigue uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted February 23, 2017 Share #213 Posted February 23, 2017 Officers of the 14th Armored Cavalry Regiment wearing various branch colored bibs in Germany around 1967/1968. Based on the collar insignia, I see armored yellow, artillery red and engineer scarlet. Also note that some of the officers are wearing the Seventh Army SSI while others are not; some are wearing the 14th ACR patch over their breast pockets while others are not and some are wearing black and gold U. S. ARMY tapes while others are wearing subdued versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
