Cleaning out my boxes of patches getting ready to sell them and I came across this one. I have had it for many years and if I recall it came with a big bunch of Air force patches and ribbons and things from an estate sale.

 

The patch is about the same size as an Eisenhower Dollar..

Possibly has to do with USAF Combat Survival School. What I have found on these is kind of murky, but there may have been several. One for sure was at Ramey AFB in Puerto Rico. Here you can see some 72 Strat. Recon. Wing members wearing a similar patch, which was awarded after completion of the course. Yours is the third variation I've seen, if in fact that's what it is, and may prove there were other schools providing this training. As a side note, the title "Combat Master" was also used by USAF Air/Security police units. Just some areas to look into.
