| If he was the commander of an engineering detachment, it is possible that his unit was assigned to the 8th SFG for engineer support. Since all SF groups are Airborne, he would have been authorized to wear the maroon beret with the 8th SFG flash, as well as wear the SF crest on the shoulder boards (but not over the right coat pocket since he was an engineering officer).
