Thrifter_01 Posted October 27, 2025 #1 Posted October 27, 2025 Found 2 patches that appear theatre made. I know is has something to do with MAAG, but I have no idea what USDLG means or what era its from. Any help is appreciated.
Solution Tonomachi Posted October 27, 2025 Solution #2 Posted October 27, 2025 I found this information. The Military Assistance Advisory Group (Indonesia) was created in August 1950 to provide U.S. military assistance/liaison in Indonesia, and was abolished on 31 Dec 1952. Later, the U.S. had a U.S. Defense Liaison Group (Indonesia) (DLG) in Indonesia. So USDLG most likely stands for “United States Defense Liaison Group” post 1952 when MAAG Indonesia was abolished.
Thrifter_01 Posted October 27, 2025 Author #3 Posted October 27, 2025 Wow! Thank you for the helpful information, considering the USDLG was made later on, would the patch be about Vietnam era then?
militbuff Posted October 27, 2025 #4 Posted October 27, 2025 Probably anywhere from the 1960s-80s based on the make (Philipino made?) and a 1978 document I found online that discusses the USDLG (https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD1119721.pdf).
