Sgt. Maj. Daniel Brooks holds his garrison cap displaying newly recognized Ski Trooper insignia. Never officially recognized, this insignia was commonly worn in place of branch insignia and was custom manufactured by local civilians at the expense of individual 10th Mountain Soldiers while at Camp Hale, Colorado during their time there preceding their deployment to the Italian Alps during WWII, and was officially authorized for wear by Maj. Gen. Scott Naumann in an effort to represent and preserve the heritage and legacy of the 10th Mountain Division. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Sam Shomento)
