PA Army National Guard 28th Infantry Division, 228th Brigade Support Battalion, B Company #21. You should not think this as the 21st truck in the unit. That's not how it works. Bumper numbers work off an age old system
1 or 10's usually mean the S-1 Personnel officer
2 or 20's usually mean S-2 Intell officer
3 or 30's operations
4 or 40's logistics
5 or 50's 1SG/SGM
6 or 60's Commander
7 or 70's XO
HQ6 is usally the Commanders vehicle. HQ66 is usually an alternate vehicle for the Commander. In Germany my battalion commander had HQ6, HQ66, HQ66A, and HQ66b. A M998, a M1 Abrams, a M113, and a M577.
The two different town location is the diffferent companies. The HQ is located in the one and B Co in the other.
Actually that would be at Battalion or higher for the intell officer. In your case, yes they are a maintenance unit. 2nd platoon vehicle 1 or maybe first section since they probably don't go by squads in that type of unit. Don't have a lot of experience in the BSB unit. The platoon leader would be 26. Platoon sergeant 25.Carnac, thanks for your help!!!
I've searched my brains out, and your info. just put it all in line for me, with your input I,ve found my truck came from Bravo Company 228th BSB Out of Scranton, pa., seems to be a maintenece outfit.
It would figure to, as my truck was PM'd up the wahoo before I got it.
So B-21, would be B company Intelligence Officer Pay Grade S-2?

Army National Guard is ARNG
The E could mean one of several options. There could be something else on the side of the bumper with the WVARNG.
It could be from one of several engineer companies that are in the WVARNG. It could also be from Special Operations Detachment E. Take a look at the WVARNG website. It might be helpful in determining it.
Yes, the 601st Engineer Company is in Weston, WV near the geographical center of the state. Been there, seen that unit. It's right along I-79.I went out and looked on the pass. side again.They spray painted black paint over the other numbers.I cleaned the best I could and got. WVARNG 601E Driver side is E-27.The 601E was painted over.Im pretty sure thats the #s it still has paint on it.![]()
The info I got when Carnac ran my data plates was:
Organization:103RD CS BN CO B MAINT
Location:FRANKFORT KENTUCKY
Yet my bumper paint seems similar to others in this thread (images att'd)
Didn't mean to imply I got bad intel!Yep, if the unit fails to keep it up to date then you get old info.
