It's the same patch. Just moved to the other side. I have a few combat patches also. He was either in 10th mountain in combat or his unit was attached to them.
Hey boss, I’m not an Armyfag, so I don’t know the significance of 10th Mountain aside from them being named in that Q post. Can you explain why they are revered among other units?
They are one of the 4 Divisions in 18th Airborne Corps, which is historically the Army's rapid deployment force.
82nd, 101st, 3rd are the other divisions in the 18th.
The 4 Divisions offer 4 different strengths (and weaknesses).
82nd can parachute in anywhere.
101 goes in by helicopter.
3ID is a Mech Infantry division, == Armored vehicles and tanks.
10th is light infantry = feet on the ground. Great for mountainous terrain and cities where vehicles can't go.
That's a combat patch not a unit patch. Right shoulder unless I saw it incorrect. Unit patch will be on the left.
So the combat patch shows the 10th mountain badge with MOUNTAIN written above it?
