Cobra 6 Actual

Just an educated guess, but some military police units did use the term “Highway Patrol” for traffic enforcement duties. It even carried over to the countries we advised, such as Iraq:

22nd Support Command MP armband made from rawhide leather. Pretty sure it dates to the Gulf War Era.

Hi Easterneagle,

 

I would be happy to stand corrected if so, post WWII not really an area of interest for me.

Just came across this one ebay. As a former Army Aviator and member of my department's Peer Support Group, it speaks to me. Great colors as well.

WIT is the acronym for “Wing Inspection Team.” At first I thought it meant a team that goes around inspecting the wings of Air Force planes. But after a wee bit more digging I found out it referred to a team that inspected the USAF military unit, a Wing; which is equivalent to an Army Brigade.
