Mark with US Army Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: 7th | #401849

The United States Army is one of the three military departments (Army, Navy and Air Force) which reports to the Department of Defense. The modern US Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775. A shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI), is an embroidered patch worn on some uniforms of the United States Army. A Sustainment Brigade is designed to operate independently in a theater of operations, in conjunction with other sustainment brigades under the command of a sustainment command. The SSI in this image was approved for the 7th Sustainment Brigade in 1967.
