US Army Theater Made Patch OIF for Helmet Cover or Caps – Private First Class

These were made in Iraq, Kuwait or Turkey during OIF.  At that time of the initial invasion, not all units had desert patches.  As a result, the locals made all types of unit patches, rank and badges on odd color desert twill.  This also filled the need because GI's liked to collect patches from the local Haji shops. They were worn on DCUs helmet covers. These have never been sewn onto a uniform. They are standard size theater made copies. The edges were folded over and sewn down before sewing onto the helmet cover.
