    2 very easy ways for them to know if the units were Army or Marine.

    1. Marine Helicopters are painted a light grey. They were frequently called grey witches. Army helicopters are green and stick out like a sore thumb when flying. Also Marine attack helicopters are Cobras, noone can mistake them for an Apache.

    2. Marine convoys were made with with 7 ton trucks and multiple hummers. The army ones only used hummers as lead and trail vehicles and the biggest vehicles they used were 5 tons.

    the type of vehicle in a convoy is solely based on unit, Mett-t, and of course whatever the mission dictates. Anywho.. Maybe they new the Apache pilots were the only ones who actually got clearance to blow **** up in your AO. I saw it in Ramadi during my last deployment. The haji would target certain aircraft in certain areas because they new that the pilot would not get clearance to engage due to collateral damage and risk assesements..
