c2003-10 Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) & Aussie Iraq Forces National Flag Flash Badge Patch

Australia Forces desert pattern worn by forces including S.A.S.R. in Iraq and Afghanistan. Velcro backed. VGC.


Approved in 2003, a third version of the desert AUSCAM (Mk III) was initially issued to Australian personnel deployed to Iraq, where it earned the nickname "Iraq Desert Pattern." Featuring pale green, brown & grey spots on a yellow-tan background, this color combination was deemed the most effective and ultimately approved for general issue to the Australian Armed Forces. It continued to serve with Australian personnel various arid theaters of deployment and the design itself has remained relatively unchanged despite at least one complete uniform overhaul (from the standard DPCU to the Land 125 system). This design was retired in 2010.
