Mystery
Patches & Units
Your help would
be appreciated. Drop me a note
marv@strategic-air-command.com |
These
patches appear to be or may have been SAC related. The units,
when named, are known only from the patch. Surely someone must
know something about them. It has been our practice to post
comments, so that you can share your experiences and knowledge with
others. Unless, you object, we will give you credit and a link
to your email so other folks with similar interests can contact you.

Was this a unit or a function performed
by units?

SAC Electronic Combat.This patch
was given to graduates of the Electronic Warfare School at Mather AFB,
CA. They were given this patch so that they could have a patch
for their flight suits and wore it until they reported to their new
host unit and were given that patch to wear.
