People might need more context to Circle C Cowboys in Post WW2 Germany.

There were a number of units which were converted and re-named "Constabulary" and certainly there were several in the American Zone. My father was assigned to the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment in late 1949 and it was still a part of the Constabulary, as I have a helmet liner of his with the Circle C insignia.

Somewhere around here I have a small but excellent historical record book about the Constabulary including its organization and structure, but at the moment I can't get my hands on it.

Take a look at this document:

http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/download/csipubs/gott_mobility.pdf

It's titled: "Mobility, Vigilance, and Justice: The US Army Constabulary in Germany, 1946-1953."

The Wikipedia page has some nice information as well ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constabulary ).
