    Need help to identify this theatre made in Iraq patch. Nice quality, brown, black, and white howling wolf on light green with black flat edge border. Almost like MultiCam colors. That said, I'm leaning toward this being an allied coalition insignia instead of US forces. The patch is mounted on black velcro.

    Thanks for looking and any help with an identification would be much appreciated!!

    On first impression I was thinking Arkansas Air National Guard. WHen I look at it closer the head looks more wolf like then pig like.

    Thanks for the ident Vitalis! Much appreciated. Can you advise any additional information regarding the Macedonian Wolves? Perhaps when they would have been deployed to Iraq, where, and in what numbers?

    Many thanks in advance!
