Generally, the US Marines didn't mark their helmets, as they wore cloth camo covers in all three wars (WWII, Korea, Vietnam). The US Army wore plain steel (sometimes with netting) only in WWII & Korea. In Vietnam, for the first time, the US Army also wore camo cloth covers.

In WWII, the US Army (either the unit or the men themselves) painted their "Division" symbols on their helmets.

From smallest to largest: Platoon, Company, Battalion, Brigade, Division, Corp, and Army. There are shoulder patches for the Brigade, Division, Corp, and Army. By far, the most common patch is the divisional patch.

During the Vietnam War, sometimes the men had their division patch sewn onto their helmet covers.
