Fort Bliss, Texas - 1967: Early example of the Subdued Patch
Although the 1st Armored Division did not participate in the Vietnam War, subordinate units did.
The first version of the O.D. (Olive Drab) Green subdued patch for 1st Armored Division was made for 1 Squadron, 1st Cavalry to wear to Vietnam in 1967. The patch was authorized in green and black only for the subdued version and has been used for field uniforms and deployments since that time.
