I assume it's a pocket piece, a tangible reminder to help their members stay "on the wagon"?

The 82nd division of Us-paratroopers uses the same kind of batch like the AA logo is designed... they were first tested in Sicily during Operation Huskyin 1943, later on they fought at the City of Grave(n) during Market Garden in 1944. Are U being Sure it is not something military about it regarding lost Brothers in Arms?

With the references to "drink", it has to be Alcoholics Anonymous.

I find the designs of the AA so strange... therefor I doubted the obvious choice.

I place this link why I have doubted: https://www.bragg.army.mil/82dv/

Over here you see the badge I was referring to...

and mind you, a recovery mission is quite something else then recovery from beverages.

And here's the current AA logo on Wikipedia. The shape of the letters isn't quite the same, but the motto is.
