ShibaLegend Posted March 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2022 Unit i am referring to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Central One of my local surplus stores has a vietnam era uniform (1968 or 1967 iirc) that has the third army patch on the uniform. I checked the wikipedia article on it and it doesn't seem to talk about if they were active or not during the 60s/70s. So my question is, did they exist in the 60s or has the uniform i am talking about been doctored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some photos 3rd Army, WACs in Basic at Ft McClellan Alabama early April 1957 Sometime in 1970, post unknown. 320th Airborne Field Artillery Battalion was assigned to Fort Benning in the mid 50s a Separate unit.
