ID the symbol on this painted ACH

Does anyone know which unit used this helmet? I picked it up near Bragg but the seller had no info on it.

Nice salty lid!

Its the Greek Letter Lambda, lower case.

Darktrooper, Thanaks for the lead. I did some research and found the elements of the Greek language referred to as the Bactrian language and used by the Kushans. It is an Iranic language spoken in what is now Afghanistan.

The territorial expansion of the Kushans helped propagate Bactrian to Northern India and parts of Central Asia. Sites at which Bactrian language inscriptions have been found are (in North-South order) Afrasiab in Uzbekistan, Kara-Tepe, Airtam, Delbarjin, Balkh, Kunduz, Baglan, Ratabak/Surkh Kotal, Oruzgan, Kabul, Dasht-e Navur, Ghazni, Jagatu in Afghanistan, as well as Islamabad, Shatial Bridge and Tochi Valley in Pakistan.[u]

Note the underlined places are in the North central and central parts of AFG. Some of these provinces are in RC East, Capital, and South where the majority of US troops serve. This still doesn't help me out but the helmet could be ANA military and possibly a SOF element because it is an ACH vs PASGT or Indian PASGT which are issued to the majority of the ANA.

Still researching...

Or the guy liked the lambda because of the reference to spartans. Or perhaps he was a fan of half-life 2. heh heh.

I brought the helmet to a 20th Group guy who confirmed the type of helmet and the symbol were used by Village Stability Coodination Cell (VSCC)- East and North personnel in Afghanistan.  He is more than certain it belonged to and SF dude because the symbol (associates to the Spartan / warrior) and set up is similar to the way his unit set them up during their time in AFG 2009 -2011. 

Now to find a picture of the symbol in a wartime photo.
