I'm trying to recreate some of the icons using the renderer. Any idea what the right code is for 1st Stryker BDE?

The closest visual match I'm seeing is SUGPUCII--***\ which is Combat Infantry Fighting Vehicle but it's missing the three circles under the oval. Can you give me a link to the wiki page the image is from?

From what I have seen the only way to get the three circles modifier on the icon is with MS2525D.

Yeah, while the symbology is modular, there's no way to call up those pieces to make a symbol on the fly in 2525C or previous. That's the benefit of 2525D.

Now I could make a way for you to put the pieces together with the renderer, but without an agreed upon symbol ID in the MilStd, it'd be useless to any other system but yours.

good call, it was probably created with a D spec renderer. Thanks for looking into this!
