smwinter207 Posted March 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2017 Did any of our medics wear this patch? Would they be advisors mostly? ThanksS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted March 27, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2017 I have had US jungle shirts with the ARVN medical directorate patches on them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwinter207 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted March 27, 2017 Did they have a 44th Medical Brigade or other US patch along side? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Patrol Posted March 27, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2017 I've had US uniforms with the medical directorate patch on them or as a hanger....not with MACV or 44th SSI....I think it was an infantry division patch on the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 28, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2017 Troops wearing this were not necessarily advisors. Sometimes US units and ARVN units were paired up as "counterparts". They might have joint training and operations. "Advisors" had more of a role working with commanders or providing technical assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
