Russian Badges and Document Booklet - Gift to 1st Infantry Division 1995

[Nkomo]

This is soemthing you don't see everyday. This is a set of badges and document booklet given to a US soldier from the 1st Infantry Division during a combined US-Russian exercise. The items are from the 27 Guard Omsko-Novobugskaya, who took part in a joint exercise with the 1st ID in Ft. Riley, Kansas in 1995. They may have also done other exercises with them at later dates.

Here is a link from a 1995 article: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1310&dat=19951027&id=TnMVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=G-sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6150,6372889

Just as a note, the third badge in the top picture (left to right), is not part of this specific grouping, but it did come from the same soldier though.
