Anyone identify this symbol on the side of government truck
Truck:

On the side of a command and control truck in the desert
I say burn all of your bridges while you still have control of the flame.
We are like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: We cannot see what angels and gods lie underneath the threshold of our perceptions. We do not live in reality; we live in our paradigms, our habituated perceptions, our illusions; the illusions we share through culture we call reality, but the true historical reality of our condition is invisible to us.”

Looks like an upside down 3rd Corp in a circle or a messed up 142nd FA or even a messed 3rd MC... I looks more modern what with the jet and tank.

I don't think it's Army, though I could be wrong. I'll dig a little.

If you've got a pic of the whole vehicle that might help too. Cause the tank looks like a patton, which would make the vehicle pre mid 80s.

Its an illuminati symbol. Pyramid in a circle. The pyramid represents power, money, male energy, control. The circle represents the whole, the earth, being inside a circle it also means protection. So they are protecting their money, power and control with the symbol.

Re: Anyone identify this symbol on the side of government truck
Yeah I can't find that symbol as an active patch anywhere.

Like symbols, similar symbols, but not that one.

[link to www.hood.army.mil]
[link to www.3rdmardiv.marines.mil]

It's the same star, but that tank is a patton, not a modern one. The jet too looks older. Vehicle itself looks new. The patch is weird because it incorporates both a tank (armor) and a jet (aviation). Normally you see a patch with just a tank or just a jet or just a cannon, etc. Crossed swords, arrows, multiple stars and laurels sure, but not cross departments (like armor and aviation).

What desert? What country? If US I would suggest this is some type of command control center for Jade Helm. Dressing civvy to not look military, same for truck (UN maybe?) and logo. Notice how small and easily overlooked the small symbols are. I bet it has UN on top. Looks like a tiny flag right in the middle too.

No idea, never seen before. I can add that in the late 80s early 90s. Telecommunications companies used vehicles like this for splicing fiber optic cables. Notice the A/C unit on top!.

To me I would say eavesdropping, (although a less conspicuous vehicle would most likely be used for that.) I have seen some ground penetrating radar setups that could be used in this vehicle.


also, The logo is old and peeling, they are most likely using the vehicle for different purposes than what the set up was originally built for. This may have been an auction vehicle that they picked up, doubt it is the original owners.


Dunno, just throwing stuff out there.

Nice post OP.

location of were this pic was taken would be helpful. I do not see any DOT numbers on this vehicle, meaning it is not a commercial/company vehicle. Not sure if GOV vehicles require DOT to be displayed.

This look like something you would see at White Sands Missile Range. They have many white trucks decked out with COMMO gear and OPTICS. Lots of Test and Evaluation Gear out there.

I shot the picture out in the west Texas desert with my iPhone. Those guys were with me. The back door could be opened and it looked like a command and control room. There was a 75 foot antenna 20 yards away with a running generator

The whole program is AI control of various resources based upon real time intel.

UAV operations are closely guarded and monitored, in all aspects.

There is NO way that was a UAV setup.


Weird that it was unmanned. Decoy to represent an opposing internet based "target". Probably keyed up with all the flagging words and a fake website.

Then the AI sends the info to the ground forces, and they have to locate.

Probably a fake seal for opponents.

Only one mile away we found an abandoned Arab styled village with lots of 223 ammo blanks. No one there either.

That whole thing looks and sounds dodgy. You guys didn't have a Geiger counter by chance. It's just odd those things and structures sitting as if abandoned.

Also looks like 'Tremors' territory.
I wish I had more time so I could do even less.
