Belgian CIMIC patch, worn, on velcro.

Two Belgian SF-related patches. The first one worn by SF personnel training Iraqi SOF. I posted the picture in grey to prevent seeing fakes show up all over ebay.
The second patch is of the training center in Jordan where Belgian SF and other nations train.
Both patches have velcro on the back.

Great patches. Its a shame we are generating new operations in this fight but I appreciate the items being posted.

One paracommando (3 batt.) and one infantry battalion patch from Op.Vigilant Guardian. Both velcro.

Since 2014, variants of this badges has been made, as seen here :

And my favorite...an extremly rare badge for combat operations in Iraq, against ISIS / Daesh

Great patches. Don't get to see many like those. Thanks for posting.

Another chasseurs ardennais patch, used in Afghanistan 2012

Interesting. If I may ask, what is the significance of the boar on the patch? Thanks.

The boar is a wild animal in "les Ardennes" area, in southern Belgium and as such utilized as the symbol of the Chasseurs Ardennais unit. More about this unit here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasseurs_Ardennais
