Description

The mark of the command that sustained the Army in Vietnam.

USARV History: Established in 1965 and headquartered at the massive Long Binh Post, the United States Army, Vietnam (USARV) commanded all US Army logistical, administrative, and support units. It was the backbone that kept hundreds of thousands of GIs armed, fed, and moving.
Sought-After "On Twill" Construction: This is the earliest style of US-issued subdued patches sent to theatre. Instead of a fully stitched background, the olive drab color is the actual exposed base twill fabric. Only the central sword and borders are embroidered in black thread.
Insignia Symbology: The shield features an upright sword, representing the military might and constant combat readiness of the US Army in Southeast Asia.
Condition: Lightly used and uniform-removed. The reverse side shows original stitch remnants from being sewn onto a tropical jungle fatigue shirt. The embroidery is tight, and the colors are excellent.
