HI!

 

It's still me!

 

This will be (hopefully ..!) my second jeep project!

 

I would like to build one more Jeep based on the vehicle appearing in the attached pic.

However I just can't fully identify it!

It's definitely a 110th Infantry Regiment Vehicle, but I really don know what the 2BN followed by one or more blurred, unreadable letter/s can be...??? Possiblly a 2nd Btn HQ vehicle, where the blurred letters should read HQ ??

 

Thanks again to all you Jeep experts out there!!!

 

Cheers!

 

Mark

HI!

 

Just one question..

 

Are you sure that the I actually means I company?

I was under the impressions that the I after aany regimental number just meant INFANTRY

 

If this is crrect then Bumper Codes would mean

 

28th Infantry Division; 110th Infantry Regiment - 2nd Battalion 4th Vehicle

 

Thanks again!

 

Cheers!

You're correct. 28-110-I = 28th Division, 110th Regt, Infantry. The other side is just as you said: 2d Bn, vehicle 4.

 

And just an FYI for 286th CA: I or Item Company is in the 3d Bn.

 

1st Bn: A, B, C, D Co's

2d Bn: E, F, G, H Co's

3d Bn: I, K, L, M Co's

Hi!

 

Thank you so much .earlymb and B229!

 

But what is 286th CA anyway? :)

 

Also is this 2-BN-4 a standard bumper code or a deviation from regulations?

As far as I can guess from AR-850-5 a standad bumper code should have been either the HQ of the company Letter/s designations followed by the Vehicle number..

Battalion numerical designation as far as I understand should appear only in Battalion HQ vehicles and always followed by HQ letters,

This is the first photo I have ever seen of the BN desgnation followed by the Vehicle number ... but I may bell be wrong here!

 

Cheers!
