I believe the first photo has markings correct for
the Little Rock School desegregation operation. I
still remember the "I live in Occupied Arkansas"
bumper stickers.

The top photo markings will apply to the 50's and very early 60's. The bottom photo is representative of the Vietnam era when the Army changed it's organizational system a bit.

The right side markings would be company and order of march # as always.

The 101st Airborne Division had dozens of Battalions and Brigades assigned to it so you must decide which specific unit. Best to go to the 101st historical web site and shop for a unit.

The top translate to 101st AB Div. 327th Infantry
The bottom translate to 1st Brigade, 101st AB Div.

Thank you for your help and valuable information.

Looks like a medical jeep and the triangle inside the whit circle may be for Bio hazards.
