This is the prototype and the production badges - limited to 35 - do not have the bridle. This patch was commissioned by the platoon commander for distribution to his platoon upon arrival in Afghanistan. That event occurred today. Their role is to be the protective force for all movement between the three camps in the Kabul area.

How do I know all this you ask? The Platoon Commander is my son, Lt Richard Law.
Hmmm...patch bears a vague resemblance to the 7th Cavalry (Airmobile) stood up a la "We Were Soldiers Once...".

Let's hope there's no Ia Drang reaction from the bad guys.

Jus' sayin'.
