The Recondo school was designed to train soldiers in long-range reconnaissance, patrolling, and survival skills. Graduates of the 82nd's specific course were authorized to wear this arrowhead-shaped patch on the breast pocket of their field uniforms. Construction: This is the Subdued version, featuring the "AA" logo and arrowhead border embroidered in black on an olive drab twill base. This style aligns with the post-Vietnam / BDU era uniforms.
