svt40 Posted August 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2013 Is there a resource that shows all the current ACH helmet patches and what units they belong to? Hard to spend money on a helmet when you have no clue what unit it may have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted August 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2013 There is no authorized list as there is no authorization for this, units just did it. It seems the only criteria is to have a unit patch small enough to fit on the side of the helmet. Hence why you never saw the 1st Cav on the side of a helmet. 3rd ACR is the largest patch I seen doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHRAT Posted August 1, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 1, 2013 Eagles of War on e bay does have a number of the helmet patches used by the 101st. Aside from that I don't know of a reference. Several units used their Shoulder sleeve Insignia on the helmet. off the top of my head I can think of the following. 3 ACR 3 ID 4 ID 34 ID 48 BCT (SMALLER VERSION) The 62nd ENG Bn uses a cloth version of their Unit crest (DI) http://stores.ebay.com/Eagles-Of-War?_rdc=1 I am sure some others have more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLegGI Posted August 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2013 Lots of 'customized' helmet patches as well that units put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted August 1, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 1, 2013 One of the funniest things I saw at Manas air terminal was miny 1st cav patches that would actually fit on the velcro. Just looked so weird. And for those that took them into Afghanistan they were made fun of on base. In 30 years, there won't be many of those around!

I had it at one time but lost it. But of course the helmet is now gone...=( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
