Here is one that I recently obtained from a fellow forum member here in trade. Took a bit to get a positive identification on the patch which is theatre made in Afghanistan. Cochise Consultancy Incorporated is a private military contracting firm founded by US Army Colonel Jesse L. Johnson (r) and based from Valrico, Florida. Colonel Johnson enjoyed a long career with US Army Special Forces to include assignments as the 10th SFG(A) Commander and Central Command Commander for USSOCOM. Cochise Consultancy has performed PMC functions including personnel security and weapons/munitions disposal in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Note that the patch incorporates Colonel Johnson's USSF heritage with the sword and crossed arrows design. The patch is backed with black velcro. The same design has also been observed on a patch with tan colored background.
Screenshot from Cochise Consultancy's web site circa fall 2011.
