This is an older now obsolete style Vietnam - Cold War era 18th Airborne Corps subdued shoulder patch for wear on the Olive Drab cotton fatigues, Jungle Fatigues and later Battle Dress Uniform (BDU's). The lighter colored desert uniform and Army Combat Uniform (ACU) style patches have since replaced this older type patch.
This style has been obsolete now for many years. Patch is in excellent used condition and has been stored away a long time in a footlocker. The 18th Airborne Corps is a unit that has long served with honor and distinction from WWII to the present day. This Airborne Tab patch has a rolled edge, with no plastic coating. The 18th Airborne Corps Dragon head patch has a rolled edge and cotton back with no plastic. This item is 100% original.
The 18th Airborne Corps is headquartered at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and is commanded by a 3-star (Lieutenant General) General officer. The 18th Airborne Corps includes the 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and numerous supporting units.

AIRBORNE!
With the recent huge increase in
U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we
have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas
mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
