    Hello,

    Here I have another patch to ID bought in Kabul.

    Looks like WWII USMC Raider patch but in desert colors.

    Maybe anybody has any info?

    Hello Rafal,

    I love the patch! Thanks for sharing. I would put this in the "Morale" patch category. Probably worn by US Marines as a heritage reminder of the WWII Marine Raider Battalion. Much like some US SOF troops wearing copies of the WWII USA/Canada FSSF patch. There is also a SOTF-A patch that features the Marine Raider design. Also found this photograph of USMC MARSOC operator in Afghanistan. Check out the patch on the back of the helmet!
