As commanding general of the 101st Abn Div and as commandant of West Point, Westmoreland setup RECONDO training for each institution before authorizing the new RECONDO School in NhaTrang; each with a downward arrow bearing either 101-numerals or USMA-letters, when the term "recon-do" was originally claimed to be a contraction of RECONnaissance commanDO, but was later changed to mean "recon+doughboy" in Vietnam, although most staff and students associated the term with the Japanese "do" for 'way', as in judo, aikido, kendo, or bushido. Protocol restricts wear of Recondo pocket patches to the issuing command, although completion is noted in the servicemember's permanent record. The symbolism of the insignia is that the black-and-white color represents day and night operations, while the downward pointing arrowhead represents assault from above.
