Okay people I'm confused I've seen some M1 models with what I think are callsigns on thier sides ie Tamiya did some with F2 and F4 I believe, the Dragon Armour series (1:72) does an M1A2 with C6. Is this a callsign, if so who is it? Or is it markings used by Cav units? Last question did 1/10 Cav have M1A2s in thier inventory during OIF in 2003?

Im sure gino will interject but the markings on the sides skirts are organic to 3rd ACR and equate to troop markings C6 would be the commanders vehicle but normally its C66 c6 would be his wheel vehicle. 1/10 cav 4th ID had some seps intis tank troop ofcourse now the tanks are out of the cav sqns in the divs
