vintageproductions Posted October 27, 2008 #1 Posted October 27, 2008 I tried to id these four with Polder's motto books but couldn't pin anything down for a positive id. Does anyone recognize any of these? The Devil's own is Korean made and I know K-8 usually stands for a base in Korea. Sentry Dog Section is japanese machine embroidered. Patrol Dogs K9 also looks Japanese machine embroidered. Air Police Sentry Dog Section, looks Thai machine embroidered. Thanks for any info.
PATCHRAT Posted October 27, 2008 #2 Posted October 27, 2008 Just did a really quick goggle search: I believe K-8 is Kunsan AB. If so your patch may be realated to the 6175th Security Police. the 13th Bomb squadron used ("The Devil's Own Grim Reapers") as its mottoperhaps the security Police used part of it. http://kalaniosullivan.com/KunsanAB/OtherU...owitwasb_a.html
Wailuna Posted October 27, 2008 #4 Posted October 27, 2008 Link here for a long list of USAF K-base designations in ROK. Note that K-9 was an early code name for Pusan East Air Base, not to be confused with the USAF canine units. There were also many A-base designations in Korea for air fields initially set up by the U.S. Army (e.g., A-306 at Camp Page and A-511 at Camp Humphreys) as well as a whole slew of R-base designations for ROKA and ROKAF. Most of these numbered base designations have faded away with time, as well as the installations themselves.
vintageproductions Posted October 27, 2008 Author #5 Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks. While doing a search last night I re-checked the VN K9 Security police website and found the Patrol Dogs K9 is the 8th SPS.
