I'm not sure what kind of support it did though. Looking at the size of the plane i guess recon?
this is the first one i've seen. That's why I obliterated a part of the patch.

The plane is a Beechcraft King Air 350 DEA flew it over to Afghanistan they were using it for cell phone intercepts throughout the country working with the Afghan CNPA Counter Narcotics Police Afghanstan the NIU SIU teams. thye based it out of KIAI first brought it over in 07 I think

DEA Beechcraft King Air 350 woeking with the Afghan Counter-Narcotics Police CNPA NIU - SIU teams doing cell phone intercepts for Narcotics operations based the plane at KIAI

Its been a while:

Afghan made DEA Kabul Country Office patch



Iraq made DYNCorp Iraq Civpol training team

I have seen the Dyncrop before but not with a team ID number on it. Nice additions!

Cheers Clete, I think I bought the Dyncorp one off this forum. The DEA one is a recent addition from BOPCop.

Are they displaying normally for everyone as they are displaying differently on my iPhone/iPad.

Both pics show fine for me and as expected. But I am using a 24" monitor w/a Win 10 computer so they should be showing as posted for me.

It seems to have been a bit slow on the collecting front over the past few months, however a few patches have been picked up:

I knew the embassy had a lot of different patches but never saw one for the air wing before let alone another one for Air for the State Department. Nice combo!

Embassy Air is run by DynCorps providing a airline service to the State Department. Here is an article on them:

Interesting article; almost two decades in and still an unsettled situation. The article has some good links in it as well. Thanks for posting it.
