Legal Question in Intellectual Property in North Carolina
Copyright infrigement
I am an artist. The US Army used my art design for t-shirts and sweatshirt for the Delta Company 187. I did not give permission for the mass sales of my design. Am I entitled to some of the monies received.

Re: Copyright infrigement
If the work for the army was done on a "work-for-hire" basis, then, chances are, the copyright belongs to the army and they can do whatever they like with it. Your information didn't provide enough background to make this determination, however.
