A symbol of hope amidst the conflict.

  • Unit History: The 44th Medical Brigade deployed to Vietnam in 1966 and served as the command headquarters for all medical support, including field hospitals, ambulances, and the legendary Dustoff MEDEVAC missions. Their motto: "Support to Victory."

  • Design: The insignia features a Greek cross with a winged caduceus superimposed—the universal symbols of the medical profession.

  • Early Manufacturing (Twill & Cut Edge): To speed up production during the 1966 transition to low-visibility insignia, only the black design was stitched onto an OD green twill fabric base. The reverse clearly shows the exposed fabric and period-correct white bobbin thread. The raw cut edge is a hallmark of the era.

  • Condition: Mint New Old Stock (NOS). Unissued, unsewn, and perfectly preserved.

  • Placement: Worn on the left shoulder of combat utility uniforms (Jungle Fatigues).
