Afghan Army Patch grouping

HI All,
Got this set of Afghan National Army patches coming my way one of my Polish friends got for me, he's with Polish CIMIC in afghanistan



Chris

A few more afghan army patches my polish friend got me. Still no success in id'ing them. The one looks very much like an airborne type patch using a stylized airfoil wing parachute in it's design.



Chris

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys, I did find out that the top left hand patch in the second photo is Kabul Military Training Center.

It's been really tough to find any id on this stuff!!

Chris

Too cool!

Hi Chris great patches, very interesting, be cool when you ID em

Hey Chris

Realy nice collection of patches. If you extra of commandos or SF,let me know ,I will be more then gladd to trade with you( Have Iraq SF extra...)

Will do Vicka, My friend's going over in the fall, and his brother is over there now, hoping to get some of the afghan made camo uniforms too.

For the most part the afghan army patches except the commando, are pretty uninspiring and boring.

Here are a few more patches I've recently gotten, tho I see a couple I've already posted.

Very nice Chris.
Especially the ANP Special Responds Team caught my eyes.

YOu've exc. taste Jens, one of my favs as well. When you consider how blah most of the ANP and ANA patches are that one really stands out!

with this patch I believe that it isn't done in any Afghani tailor shop but a coalition. I'll seek some more intel on it, since I'm pretty sure of who gave it to ANP....

Just got this pic from a Polish friend serving in Ghazni.

I just love these! Great stuff

Hey Chris,WOW WOW Realy nice patches

Okay....I've been doing a lot of research on Afghan patches and have been able to identify some of the patches. I will start on Zvez's picture. Starting at the top from left to right.



Top row: Afghan National Army sleeve title, unknown Afghan National Army sleeve title (Ministry of Defense?), Afghan National Army Infantry sleeve title (Version 1).

2nd Row: ANA 207th Corps (Herat), ANA 209th Corps (Mazr-i-Sharif), ANA Commando sleeve patch, ANA Commando patch (no title), ANA Commando sleeve patch

3rd row: Unknown Afghan military school, ANA Ministry of Defense (green version), ANA Chief of Staff, Unknown Afghan Air Force, Unknown Afghan military school

4th row: Unknown patch (possible military school), Unknown patch (possible military school), ANA 201st Corps (Kabul), ANA 203rd Corps (Gardez), Unknown Afghan Air Force patch

Patch identification continued.



Top row: ANA Commando sleeve title, ANA Commando patch (black and grey variation), ANA Commando sleeve title (Possible 7th Commando)

2nd row: Small ANA Commando patch for wear on cap or equipment, Smaller ANA Commando patch (grey variation) for wear on equipment.

3rd row: Afghan National Commando chest title

4th row: Unknown ANA Commando patch with winged skull (Airborne? SF?), Unknown ANA Commando Eagle patch, ANA Commando fielp operator skull patch

5th row: ANA 7th Commando patch, ANA Commando patch (Airborne? SF?)

The last ANA Commando patch in blue with the parachutists is an odd duck. Most all of the Afghan National Army Commando patches are in a maroon color. This one is on a blue background. Does it have a possible Afghan Air Force connection????

Great job IDing the patches Arch,

Also amazing collection of patches you guys have... very very beautiful

cheers
