With the enjoyment of seeing my first blog on Australian Camouflage patterns up and running, I have decided to give a visual account of my Australian Army Unit Patches. There is a plethora of such items and their variants available on the market at the moment and my aim is to show examples I have in my collection. Your advice on issue dates would be gratefully acknowledged. (Some images have been 'sterilised' for security.) Comments and trade offers can be sent to stevod63@hotmail.com.

Iraq, Security Detchment 10 (SECDET X)
Some patches from the Australian Security Detachment 10 in Iraq. Top left of set is an Iraqi acquired patch for the same group, and the other 7 are SECDET X patches ultimately worn by troops in Iraq. The single patch with the styalised ASLAV is the unit patch for the 2nd Cav contingent of SECDET X. The 7 subdued patches were not the originally sanctioned patches for the 10th SECDET rotation, with a completely different set of 4 patches being requisitioned for and delivered set of patches being the sanctioned patches. The subdued set with large X were purchased after the original acquistion and worn in Iraq, committing the original order to 'unissued' status from what I can ascertain. More can be seen of these patches in a seperate post.

Hi,
The site is about security, Army Unit Patches gives many detail case studies about this topic. It is good, many freshers are getting some knowledge about the past and their seniors, thanks...
