Another patch for ID from A-stan - US MARSOC Raider?

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?



Thanks

Rafal

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!
