I was thinking that when I saw it - would be a great way to have a US general be introduced as well into either article

Any idea on the unit patches?

Looks good but what about the uniforms? The ACU picutred wasn't introduced until after 2003-ish (in the real world). It's an anachronism in both v1.0 and v2 T2K. Even with the black-and-white shading effects, you can pick out ACU features that the earlier U.S. BDUs didn't have.

I realize that this is probably nitpicking and that most GMs/players don't care about kit minutiae, but some might.

The cav photo you would probably use for Twilight 2013 unaltered the other would be ok for the V1, V2 or V2.2 if you want to be purist (i.e. its from 1995)

I did wonder that myself. I might try a lower resolution/size or if I am using it for the US Border Guards, maybe all manner of bits might be made locally and with a little edit it could pass off as a non-issue commercial desert pattern.

Here is a good one for almost anywhere - it was taken in Korea in 1998

"Soldiers assigned to C Troop of the 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment drive an M-113A1 Armored Personnel Carrier to the live fire range at the Korea Training Center, Republic of Korea, on Oct. 25, 1998. Armored units use the range to meet yearly, live gunnery training requirements."

and another good one from Bosnia

A U.S. Army soldier communicates with his headquarters as another soldier monitors the radio while on a security patrol near the town of Sljoke, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Jan. 16, 1996, during Operation Joint Endeavor. The soldiers are patrolling the area in a M3-A2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle as part of the NATO Implementation Force (IFOR). The troops are deployed from the 1st Cavalry, Budingen, Germany.

The archive photos at the Defense.Gov site are the oldest ones and the ones most likely useful for V1 or V2
