Hello all,

I recently acquired an M170 still in its military colors. The stencils are fairly easily read, but I am curious about this one's unit. I've done a quick search of meanings, but can't get a clear answer from the web. The unit information is as follows:

33BO-I-153 HQ-54

My question is, what does the "BO" mean? I've not seen it before. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe what you actually have there is:

39BG 1 153 HQ54

39th Battle Group, 1st Battalion, 153rd Infantry regiment, Headquarters Company, Vehicle order of march # 54.

Here's unit info:

Thanks Wes, I see it now. Guess its a good thing I decided to include the pic.
