2nd Ass Crack Regiment — 2nd Cavalry Regiment, refers to the fact that the abbreviation for the units name is 2nd ACR
2nd All-Criminals Regiment — 2nd Cavalry Regiment, refers to the regiment's former name, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, largely due to the lack of entertainment/diversions in the regiment's former location at Ft. Polk.
10th Mo-Town — 10th Mountain Division.
10th "We Don't Do Mountains" — 10th Mountain Division, from the fact inclusion of 'mountain' in the unit name is for purely historical reasons, much like the 'airborne' in the 101st Airborne Division.
The 82d Airplane Gang — 82nd Airborne Division. In reference to the significant gang mentality of many military dependents at Fort Bragg.
The Air Raft — 82nd Airborne Division From the stylized "AA" cypher (for "All Americans") on the division patch.
Alcoholics Anonymous — 82nd Airborne Division From the stylized "AA" cypher on the division patch.
All African — 82nd Airborne Division From the stylized "AA" cypher on the division patch. (WW2, pejorative)
Screaming Eagles — 101st, for the Eagle on their shoulders
"The Band-Box Troop" — F Troop, 7h Cav (c 1876), for its spit-polish.
"The Big Dead One" — 1st Infantry Division, a play on its more common nickname, "The Big Red One".
"The Big Red One" — 1st Infantry Division, from the shoulder patch.
The Blackhorse — 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. In the early 1900s, the regiment was camped at the Presidio, and the residents of San Francisco nicknamed the regiment due to majority of their horses being black in color.
BDO — 1st Infantry Division, from the abbreviation of its nickname, "The Big Dead One".
Black Hearts — 2nd Armored Division, for their behavior during WWII.
Bloody Bucket — 28th Infantry Division, named so by the Nazis, for their red keystone flash and vicious fighting tactics during the Normandy Campaign.
BRO — 1st Infantry Division, from the abbreviation of its nickname, "The Big Red One".
Broken TV — 3rd Infantry Division, due to their patch being square and consisting of alternating blue and white diagonal lines, like a TV on the fritz.
Choking Chickens, Puking Buzzards, or Screaming Chickens — 101st Airborne Division, from "Screaming Eagles" motto and the open-mouthed eagle on the unit patch
Electric Chili Pepper – the 25th Infantry Division, for their patch
Electric Strawberry – the 25th Infantry Division, for their taro-leaf shaped patch (that resembles a strawberry) with a lightning bolt in the middle.
Exploding Asshole — the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)
First Team — First Cavalry Division.
Flaming Asshole — 40th Infantry Division, for the appearance of the sun symbol of their subdued patch.
Gaggin' Dragon — The XVIII Airborne Corps, from their unit patch.
Great Beret Give-Away — 82nd Airborne Division. Light infantry units typically used this, because previous to the army switching to berets, this was the only division-sized unit that wore berets. Infantrymen thought it insulting to warriors that even administrative clerks in the 82nd wore berets.
"Gray Horse" — E Troop, 7h Cav (c 1876), for its preference in color of mount.
"Hell on Wheels" — 2nd Armored Division for their bad behavior prior to WWII in Georgia.
Ivy Division — 4th Infantry Division whose patch has four ivy leaves. Also described as "four 2LT's pointing north".
JJ/Jumping Junkies — late 1960s to 80s term for the 82nd Airborne due to the high amount of drug use within the unit.
Leaning Shithouse — 1st Corps Support Command (now 1st Sustainment Command) units, due to the unit patch, an arrow pointing to the 11 o'clock position [2]
LIBERATORS — 14th Armored Division
Nasty Girls, Nasty Guard, No-Go, Trailer Trash — National Guard soldiers
Rainbow — 42nd Infantry Division, from their unit patch.
Rainbow Coalition (pejorative) — 42nd Infantry Division, mocking on the unit patch.
Rock of the Marne — 3rd Infantry Division, nickname earned in the Battle of the Marne, World War I.
