I've had this for a while and have never been able to identify it. It looks Vietnam War era and looks to be self explanatory, but I for some reason haven't been able to find another like it.

ASMIC has this listed as 30th Infantry Division Recondo patch from the early 1970's.

Have seen a few examples over the years and this one is the most "crisp" embroidering that I have ever seen.

Thank you for the information. Even with knowing what this is, I can't find any other examples. How rare is this?

 

Here are some pictures of the back.

 

Thank you once again.

awmartin,

 

I realize this post is a couple of years old, but if you're checking in, do you still have the patch? I earned one of these in 1984 at Fort Bragg; 30th Infantry Brigade, formerly 30th Infantry Division. I lost mine in a house fire and have been looking for a replacement.

 

The only other one I've seen lately is in the NCARNG museum. Turns out it was earned by a friend and fellow soldier in my same class 1-84, who unfortunately passed away last year. Donated by his wife. That particular Recondo school may have gone on for a couple more cycles, if that.
