vzemke Posted September 3, 2007 Share #126 Posted September 3, 2007 These aren't really cut edge desert patches and I don't normally pay any attention to modern Air Force stuff, but I thought these were neat. They came strait from the alterations shop on Sather Air Base, Baghdad. 447th Air Expeditionary Group and USAF Security Forces beret patch. The last one has me stumped as they don't wear berets over here. The shop had them with velcro and without velcro, so someone must be wearing them on SOMETHING? Both are cut edge.

vzemke Posted September 3, 2007 Share #127 Posted September 3, 2007 And last for the day, a variation of the 82nd ABN patch. The one in the back is one I posted a few weeks ago. On top of it is another one made the same way, only considerably smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vzemke Posted September 10, 2007 Share #132 Posted September 10, 2007 Here is a neat photo I found on the internet the other day showing a door gunner on a CH-47 over Baghdad. Supposidly the picture has been taken with in the last year. Note he is wearing a reversed 1st CAV patch on the sleeve of his tan flight suit. You don't see these very often anymore.

NorBn Posted September 16, 2007 Share #136 Posted September 16, 2007 I traded these patches with US collectors that have served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

GLM Posted September 21, 2007 Share #147 Posted September 21, 2007 Man, you guys are killing me with some of these variations! There are some extremely nice patches being posted here. NorBn Those are some really great hand guided patches. When you say you acquired some from Norwegian soldiers serving in Afghanistan, are you talking about souvenir US patches or Norwegian contingent patches? I would love to see some of the Norwegian varieties if you want to slip them into this thread. Vance I'm guessing you're going for the most complete T/M patch collection to come out of Iraq during this war. So far, what you've shown in this thread would make one heck of a wall display of the patches worn there, but I'm guessing it isn't even half of what you've accumulated. Have you been picking up Iraqi Army and Police patches to compliment the US ones you've found? Are you snapping pics of the alteration shops at the FOB's you've made it to?

vzemke Posted September 22, 2007 Share #149 Posted September 22, 2007 'patchtrader864', thanks for the ID, I figured it had something to do with JAG. For some reason I never thought to bring one of the patch guides with me to Iraq, boy was that a mistake! :-) Here are some more for your viewing pleasure: 3 very different versions of the 205th MI Brigade.
