The OOB is provided for those
interested in what shoulder patch their relative may have worn.
I do NOT have unit histories on any of the several hundred units
listed in the OOB. If you want info on any specific unit, use
the green button above this red text.
The following
non-divisional units were all elements of 9th U.S. Army
from 5 September 1944 - 5 May 1945. If your relative was in any of
these units, with the following exceptions:
Tank Battalions
XVIII Corps Artillery
Cavalry Group Hqs, Mechanized
Chemical Battalions, Motorized
Tank Destroyer
Army Air Forces
2nd and 5th Ranger Infantry Battalions
LCVP Unit Number 3 (USN)
Then he or she officially wore the 9th U.S. Army
patch. This is not to say that some of these 9th U.S.
Army MAY have created and worn a patch of their own, but I have
found no documentation, photographs, or interviews to the contrary.
Some of them may have their own distinctive unit insignia.
