Military Insignia Patches
How are military insignia patches formed and modified, are an interesting story? An example of this can be witnessed in the way the Fifth Special Forces Group was formed for the Vietnam War, in 1962. The United States Special Forces, Vietnam (Provisional) was formed from members drawn from the First Group, the Fifth Group, and the Seventh Groups. The soldiers operated in small units and created several insignia patch designs for their identification. The Fifth Special Forces Group used the insignia of the beret fish that combined the yellow from the first group, red from the seventh, and black from the Fifth that was incorporated with bend lets that represented the flag of Vietnam.
Military Unit Patches
Military unit patches help to establish the identity of military personnel. Unit patches can contain symbols or numerals that relate to the specific unit or the special mission. The patches contain the number of a unit embroidered on them. For instance, if there is a big "1" embroidered, it means that the unit is the First Division. Unit patches also contain symbols that can be something like the black horse head or a fish.
Military Patches
Patches are structures that are worn on a uniform. Officially these structures are known as shoulder sleeve insignias. Patches are primarily of two types - unit patches and shoulder patches. Unit patches display the unit from which the personnel hails, while the shoulder patches, worn on the shoulder or sometimes on the sleeves, display the rank of the individuals.
Military Shoulder Patches
Shoulder patches are more than just fashion. The use of the shoulder patches began during the American Civil War, when the Union Army started using cloth patches. During World War I, General Pershing authorized the use of shoulder patches for the American Expeditionary Force in France. During World War II, almost all of the US Army was officially using shoulder patches. These patches however, were not called patches in the official language. They were known as "shoulder sleeve insignias." While the British use of shoulder patches was primarily to help identify units, the American saw these as actual insignia.
