Just got back from the store.  ACU with full insignia from Goodwill, still has the tag on it, basically new never worn it seems.

I was not aware the Raiders were wearing OCP's?

*MARSOC units were renamed to Raiders in 2013 and are within USSOCOM. They conduct missions on par with U.S. Army Special Forces.

**Marine Force Recon still exists and their mission unchanged, being under USMC command.

29th Infantry Division current assignment and former wartime service patch on this ACU picked up today exploring a store I'd never been to.

Not sure how common this was, but here's a UCP pattern ACU with Navy rank, branch tape, and an Al Asad airbase patch.  I've found two photos on DVIDS from 2009 showing Navy base personnel in UCP, included below.  On Capt. McMahon you can see the edge of what I think is the Al Asad patch.

I just received this one, all insignia on the chest are sewn on to the jacket and the airborne one is a velcro patch. I have no ID on the name. Still a cool jacket to me!

An early contract date UCP patrol cap from 2004.  The Velcro on the back looks like it might have been a later addition?
