This is a pic of a jeep in the CAMA (Ca-Az Maneuver Area) from Goffs, CA. It's from the 563rd QM Corp. What does it mean that's boxed in red (RHD-1)?

Re: WWII Bumper Marking
Curious, what does an RHD Co. do?

Re: WWII Bumper Marking
Found that just now...A Railhead Detachment. For this pic, it makes sense as it was shot by a soldier stationed at Goffs, CA, which was a railhead serving the divisional camps close by (Ibis, Essex, Clipper and maybe more).
Rhd Det = Railhead Detachment
Rhd Sup Det = Railhead Supply Detachment
Rhd Det = Railhead Detachment

Re: WWII Bumper Marking
Makes sense and also that the markings are done so well. Stateside would pay closer attention to that.
Thanks,

Re: WWII Bumper Marking
I’m so glad you found that. It’s crazy sometimes the itch I just have to scratch but I’ve been looking on and off all day for the answer.
