NOTES -- ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS:
From Stephen James -- Wednesday, July 27, 2005 |
| By looking through award citation orders, I have the following names to add to the unit roster for B Trp 7/17th and H Trp 17th ACS. I cannot be sure about whether some of these persons were in both units because some DEROSED and some were medivaced before the change in unit designation. Also, there was about a 2 week period when the unit was MR II Cav TRP (Provisional) between being B Trp 7/17th and H Trp 17 ACS. |
