patches Posted May 28, 2016 Share #114 Posted May 28, 2016 Ah this is from mid -ish late-ish 1949 and shows the some of the Divisions of the Regular Army then active, missing, which I believe would be on another page, are the 4th (Training Div Ft Ord) 7th, (Korea/Japan) 9th (which was a Training Div Ft Dix NJ), 11th Abn (Japan/Ft Campbell KY) 24th (Japan), 25th (Japan), 101st (Training Div Cp Breckenridge KY), 3rd Armd Div (Training Div Ft Knox KY). I find it interesting that the 8th Div is depicted, this unit wasn't active in 1949, it was only reactivated in August 1950 at ft Jackson SC.

patches Posted July 17, 2016 Share #116 Posted July 17, 2016 This is a 1970s photo of one of the 101's Hueys at Ft Campbell Kentucky. The habit of painting the Screaming Eagles patch on some of their Birds going back a bit to the war in Vietnam. ( I got a great photo in one on my books of a 101 patch on a chopper at Ripcord in 1970, will scan it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
