29th RCT Regimental Combat Team Army Military Patch

29th RCT Regimental Combat Team Army Military Patch

Worn from: 1 May 1949 - 1 May 1957.

The design of the patch is that of the United States Army, Japan. It was taken by this unit because it was in Japan at the start of the Korean conflict. The tab was unauthorized. The approved design, a shield with cross cannon and bayonet, was used originally by the Seventy-fifth regimental combat team, but it was given to the Twenty-ninth in 1956. There are no records, however, indicating if the insignia was ever worn by the unit.
