Stuart GI Posted September 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2015 Has anyone seen this AFL patch before, or have any idea what unit or organization it represents? And what the heck is this lightning bolt patch? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLeo Posted September 14, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 14, 2015 I'm pretty sure the bottom one is for the 12th Spec. Forces Group. I've seen a couple threads on these so I'm sure someone can tell you exactly how it is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted September 14, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 14, 2015 I think the "tab" was worn either on the beret or on the shoulder , maybe front above ribbons, I'm sorry not much help , I saw something about this some years ago .

PATCHRAT Posted September 14, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2015 the small tab is called a "candy stripe" don't know the official name. From what I remember they were worn by non special forces qualified personnel assigned to SF units. Worn on the Beret in place of the Flash.

e19 Posted September 17, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2015 The official nomenclature was Group Rcognition Bar, with this one being for the 12th SFG. As stated above it was worn on the beret below the DUI (enlisted) or rank (officers) by non SF qualified personnel. It was commonly referred to as a "candy stripe"', "candy bar"' or "striker bar".

468abnarm Posted September 17, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2015 Interesting "candy stripe" in that I have never seen a Merrowed Edge version before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
