The Teddy Bear patch, here in I think Ft Richardson around 1962, unit is the battle group of the 23rd Infantry, the 1st Battle Group which was the pre 172nd Inf Bde days.

7th Infantry Division sign at Camp Kaiser, South Korea around 1959-1960. Note the first unit identified seems to be the 7th Infantry Brigade (?).

That's weird 7th Inf Bde, divisional brigades apart from the separate brigades, IE the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades, as we know them only make a reappearance at the start of ROAD in 1963. But.... there was apparently a small sub unit during the Pentomic era called a Brigade.

 

 

 

The Pentomic organization, officially known as the Reorganization of the Current Infantry
Division (ROCID) went through frequent modifications from its conception in 1954 to 1958
when it was finally adopted, and even after adoption. The original tables of organization (TOE)
which were implemented included a small brigade headquarters commanded by the brigadier
general assistant division commander. This headquarters was designed to provide command
and control of attached units from the division as directed by the division commander, and to
act as an alternate division command post. The concept was not really used in practice and

when Pentomic TOEs were modified in February 1960, the brigade was eliminated.

I cant imagine what it was like to serve post war, any war, with a MoH recipient. Could imagine being a new recruit in the Texas NG and Audie Murphy shows up to drill.

M/Sgt. Garcia was a VA counselor in civilian life it seems, in addition to being an Army Reservist.

Bass Drum and band sabretaches of a unit of the Technical and Administrative Services (The Army Service Forces redesignated, redesignated in 1946). Foto from the late 40s, early 50s, say summer of 1949 or 50, or 51.
