Unofficial Canadian Patches

Since there seems to be quite an array of these unofficial patches being worn in theater...and since I've been lucky enough to find a few, I figured a thread to discuss these should be entertained. Please add any you have!

OMLT(Operational Mentor & Liason Team) - These are from different 2010 rotos but with the same Kandaks of the 1st Brigade, 205th Corps.

Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team

Very cool patches. Even cooler when there are photos of same patches being worn.

I can get lots more pictures of all kinds of patches being worn but I have to get permission from a friend to use them first...still waiting for a reply from KAF since he doesn't get online very often.

Van Doos - Roto 10

This is an unknown patch to me...but the crop looks interesting.

Hi very nice patches, I will post mine in couple days,

Here is one from the collection of Cliff Weirmar. Maintenance Company Roto 8.

I have seen some Canadian SF wearing the USA/Canada First Special Service Force red arrowhead patch around Kandahar. I'm trying to hunt down an example. With Task Force Kandahar right across the street from our HQs we see lots of different Canadian Patches.

You speak about this one (?) :

No not the Task Force Kandahar patch, the WW2 First Special Service Force patch...this one

Hi It s funny to see this kind of patch, because it were used during WW2. Do you have some pics of that??? Thanks I m very curious to see that.

Hi guys just picked up this patch yesterday. One of my Canadian co-workers here on Kandahar was able to get it for me. He told me that Camp Mirage doesn't exist anymore. I guess this makes this patch even rarer.

Hi This base doesn't exist anymore, that 's true. Camp Mirage has been set up in 2002. The new base is at Dubai. So I m jealous of this patch!!!

Nice one! Never seen it before.
