Hi people,

I found very intersting painting scheme for MLRS from Desert Storm Operation. It comes from S. Zaloga book titled: "M2&M3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles 1983-95" Issued by Osprey/New Vanguard no.18

Since the picture comes from a book I am reproducing just fragment of the scheme as the reference:



The vehicle is described as "Battery B, US Army Field Artillery Regiment, Iraq, February 1991.

Does anybody have any picture of this specific vehicle or maybe somebody can recognize the unit?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers

It probably won't help much but there a shot of the actual vehicle in Verlinden's War Machines - A Gulf War Eyewitness Report #626. The caption didn't have any extra information and it is pretty much the same profile shot as the sketch in the Osprey book.

Sherb,

thanks a lot. It is very important info for me.
BTW: thanks to people from militaryimages.net the unit has been identified:
A Battery, 94th Field Artillery, 1st Armored Division.

Cheers!
