What first caught my eye were the bumper numbers for 357th Engineer Company. That is the new designation for my old unit, A-391 Engineer Battalion.
Then I noticed the spray paint on it- that was done at the unit in 2002, during an extra period of home station annual training when we had to change bumbler numbers and the old paint we could get was that off-color WWII shade OD green. At that time there were only 2 M105 trailers in the unit, and only one had the old style parking brake handles and landing leg- the same one I towed around from 93-96. When the unit deployed that trailer and most of the units other equipment was put into storage in ECS-125 at Ft Bragg. The trailer stayed at ECS from 2004 until it was sold.
