    What Was the USARHAN Rifle Team?

    Bought a M1903 match rifle. Story is it belonged to a former military competitor (no name, etc).

    Included is a leather, shearling lined, Boyt rifle case.

    Stenciled on the case is:

    USARHAN (or USARHAW ? not sure of the last letter)
    RIFLE-TEAM
    35


    Can any of you translate the USARHAN (or USARHAW)??

    I suppose the USAR is US Army Reserve but the last three letters has me stumped. Whatever organization it was, it had a rifle team back in the day.

    I like the old gear and the history that goes with it.

    Regards

    Got an opinion on another forum:

    It is USARHAW and stands for US Army Reserve Hawaii.

    Sounds plausible.
