Guys your probably correct both sides would want to say the are the legitimate U.S. Government.

So what do you think they would do as far as helradry to differentiate one side from the other? Also what about uniforms presumably they would both be wearing standard woodland BDU's or Later ACU,MARPAT ect.

I'm kinda hoping O.D. Green will make a come back.

I don't see Milgov changing a thing.
Civgov may use different uniforms (where possible for newly raised units) and armbands where not.
Neither side will give up the flag or alter it in any way which will indeed mean much confusion when the two sides clash and the populace probably won't care much which government the troops are from anyway when they roll into town - soldiers are soldiers.

Informally, I can see units on both sides adopting unofficial insignia such a an armband or shoulder patch, or a stencil on the side of vehicles.

Everyone going in my direction is friendly.
Everyone going coming from the other direction is enemy.

As crude as it is, that's often how it ends up working in a lot of places where you don't a solid support base. When these armies can barely feed their soldiers on a day to day basis, even accommodating for uniforms is a tough one sometimes and it gets pushed aside for more important things.

That's what I was touching on in my posts. In a perfect world where resources were plentiful, all sorts of changes could be considered, however in T2K soldiers are likely to be wearing the same clothes they had two years before and flags are unlikely to have a very high priority.
