Sgt. Maj. Daniel Brooks, Command Career Counselor for the 10th Mountain Division (LI), announces the Division's authorization for wear of the Ski Trooper Insignia at the Multipurpose Auditorium on Fort Drum, New York, April 29, 2026. 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 video by Sgt. Sam Shomento)
