In April 2003, playing cards were given to United States troops to help them identify Iraqi targets. The cards were first announced publicly by Brigadier General Vincent K Brooks. Within days the demand for these cards hit a fevered pitch in the collector market. Since there had been very few decks made for distribution to Middle East embassies, the Pentagon contracted with United States Playing Card Company, holders of the Hoyle, and Bicycle playing card brands, to produce more sets. These decks have been stored in a dry, smoke-free storage warehouse since they were first received in early May of 2003. Genuine, Made in The USA, fully licensed by the Pentagon, and now available to serious militaria, and historical items collectors. Don't be fooled by Chinese made counterfeits.
