all-bull Posted September 24, 2010 #1 Posted September 24, 2010 Hey everyone, Can someone please shed some light on what this patch is? Any help or information would be great. I really hope it is not a Ski Patrolman for Hokkaido's resort!! Seriously though, I know we had troops there from the Korean War until about 1975, so I am hoping it is for some type of US occupation duty unit. Thanks so much in advance! Mods - Can you change the title to read "Japanese Made", instead of just Japanese? Thanks!
Capt.Confederacy Posted September 24, 2010 #2 Posted September 24, 2010 Just taking a stab at it, perhaps it's patch for someone who was in the Navy's Shore Patrol there.
gwb123 Posted September 25, 2010 #3 Posted September 25, 2010 USAF Security Police is another possiblility. This just looks like an Air Force patch based on colors and shape. Doing a quick scan of the internet, the USAF once had units stationed at Chitose which is on Hokkaido. This site gives a time line for the base, which also included ASA units and US Army 11th ABN, 7th ID, etc. http://www.asachitose.com/page8.htm
