Hi all,

 

Does anyone know where I can find a reference for the invasion color bars that were painted on equipment? Does anyone know what the different color and codes represent?

 

Below is a duffle bag I have in my collection. The colors appear to be green/red/green.

398th Engineers were yellow, yellow, yellow. I am guessing the unit serial number that website talks about is 10575N, Co. A for two identical bags that belonged to two different members of the regiment. Both bags were with a nice grouping I picked up recently. Just checked them out to make sure the colors were the same shade and yet another 67 year old pack of Trojans fell out!

This is a replacement detachment POM marking with redeployment numbers.
