Subject: Re: How about the 4th Armored Division '65-66


each time i read another of these my mind seems to tell me my memory is fading worse than i remember.

i do remember the bumper numbers designating the unit of assignment and other designations. in the case you cite, the initial 4A would have indicated 5/2 and 4/60 were organic to the division. this in a manner similar to the 4/60 being assigned/organic to 1st field force vietnam (IFFV) or IFFV artillery (IFFVA).

it would then appear 4th armored division was responsible/assigned to range operations at mc gregor/oro grande. the 5ada2 and 4ada60 designations are interesting as the "ada" designation was not official 'til the early 70s. thus my recolection of the use of the "ad" designation mentioned in one of my earlier responses. with respect to 4/60, i also recall the acronym awsp (automatic weapon, self propelled) being utilized within the marking scheme. otherwise my memory is unclear - 4AD(AWSP)60 or something of the like.
