Even the enemy knows the difference between the US Army and the Marines In 2003 when the Marines and the Army 3d Infantry Division had taken down Baghdad and had truck convoys scattered all the way into Kuwait, An Army unit commander was a plans officer at USCENTCOM when their intelligence intercepted an order from the Iraqi insurgency commander. It was a field order to all the insurgent unit commanders and it went something like this: "Resistance Commanders, When attacking supply and truck units you must be aware that there are two different American "armies": 1. The US Army which wears tan desert uniforms like this (photo of a Soldier wearing the old desert uniform); and. 2. The US Marine Corps which wears a different uniform like this (photo of a Marine wearing the newly issued USMC digital uniform). When planning your attacks on supply lines and truck convoys ensure that you do NOT attack a US Marine unit. If you do, these supply-unit Marines will immediately act like Marine infantry and they will attack you and hunt every one of your men down and kill them. The US Army truck and supply units will not pursue you. Attack them instead."
