The U.S. platoon was wearing field uniforms with battle rattle and war paint. The parade was in Bucharest, 180 miles from the Ukrainian border. 101st treated this like a combat deployment (which it could become), I'm sure they didn't pack dress uniforms.

Presume he was infantry when he deployed with the Regiment to Iraq. The days of the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment being a tank-heavy unit are long gone. It is effectively a motorized infantry brigade (with organic artillery and engineer support). Correction -- typing too fast. Should have read three squadrons (battalions) of Stryker-mounted infantry; plus one reconnaisance squadron with three Styker recon-surveillance-target acquistion (RTSA) troops / a surveillance troop with UAVs / 3 CW recon vehicles; along with a Field Artillery squadron (battalion); an engineer squadron (battalion); and a regimental support squadron (logistics / maintenance / medical).

The one on the left is curious, a Non Infantry 3rd ACR Vet with a CAB, yet he wears the Inf Blue Disc with his Cap Device. He has either since reclassified into a 11 series or when he was deployed he was not serving in a 11 series duty position. I had two 11Bs that were deployed and assigned to a Graves Unit and scraped up body parts for 11 months and got CABs due to not being in a Infantry Company/battalion or Bde as a 11B.

From the footage available it was very uncommon to see the pocket patch being worn. IMO The white german made variant is being worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger-1972 Posted February 2, 2023 Share #6057 Posted February 2, 2023 Full color SSI worn on modern battle dress uniform. On the left is Lieutenant General Jodi Daniels, Chief of Army Reserves and Commander of US Army Reserve Command, presenting a retirement certificate to Major General David Ling, who was the CG of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command. LTG Daniels is wearing the full-color SSI of the Multi-National Security Assistance Transation Command as a wartime unit. MG Ling is wearing the full-color SSI of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command (the "Cross of Lorraine" patch was formerly that worn by the 79th Infantry Division from 1917-1919 and again from 1942-1945; in 1946 becoming an Organized Reserve Division; in 1952 as an Army Reserve Division). The 79th TSC was created in 2009. As the Army Reserve's second-largest command, the 79th TSC executes command and control of the 4th, 311th, 364th, and 451st Expeditionary Sustainment Commands. These one-star commands account for approximately 20,000 Army Reserve Soldiers and Civilians assigned to 218 sustainment units dispersed across 19 states west of the Mississippi River. The 79th TSC is headquartered in Los Alamitos, CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the first sergeant is wearing the I Field Force Vietnam SSI with AIRBORNE tab as a combat patch. Just noticed this, I was showing someone this picture as I knew the 1SG. Note the CPT next to him is wearing the branch insignia of Special Forces not Infantry. Don’t know if the CPT completed the Q course, as he does not wear the SSI of the SF tab. The LT behind him is wearing the INF crossed rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
