RE: OOB needed for 7th Armored Division - Marc_Barker - 12-29-2011 I hope this helps gives corp attachment and unit detachment and attachment...US Army OOB 7th ARMORED DIVISION "Lucky Seventh" The mixture of insignia and distinctive colors of several arms incorporated in the Armored Force symbolize integrity and esprit. It is an interlocked ornament, found in Nordic monuments, composed of three torques: red for Artillery; blue for Infantry; and yellow for Cavalry. The symbols represent the characteristics of Armored Divisions: the tank track, mobility and armor protection; the cannon, fire power; and the red bolt of lightening, shock action.
