You are missing a whole host of toriis at Fort Campbell, KY. The entire 3rd Brigade (Rakkasan) uses the torii as a unit logo, not just 3-187 (1-187, 626BSB, 1-33 Cavalry, and so on).

You'll also (maybe) find torii in Eastern Afghanistan, that is if the locals left them up.

Thank you so much! When I start working on the book, I think a chapter will be dedicated to the use of the torii as a symbol in the US military, especially the Rakkasans. That's an excellent tip about Afghanistan, I'll see what I can find! _/\_
