Vietnam- US Cloth Insignia |
 |
  |
  |
|
|
Over three
million personnel served in Vietnam, but only those of the
U.S. Navy Task Force 116 wore the distinctive black beret
while serving and fighting as the River Patrol Forces in the
murky, brown waters of the Mekong Delta. Those who served in
Task Force 116 are among the most elite teams deployed by
the U.S. Navy in Vietnam: PBRs, SEALs, HAL-3 Seawolves, and
VAL-4 Black Ponies.
Their mission was to route the enemy
deep within the secluded waterways of the Delta. This
book illustrates the colorful insignia, emblems, and
artifacts used by these units in great detail. Many of the
patches, jungle jackets, and tiger stripe uniforms didn't
survive because of the environments of war in South East
Asia and the restrictions placed upon U.S. Sailors. The unit
patches produced by the River Patrol Forces used symbols of
heraldry, strength, defiance, and sometimes humor which
represents the best of men fighting to protect their
"brothers in arms". The black berets and the distinctive
unit patches emblazoned on their jungle jackets and worn
into battle brought these men together as a fighting unit.
