Description: U.S. ARMY 72ND FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE PATCH. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS First Class Package. The Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (often called a unit patch) of the 72nd Field Artillery Brigade was approved on 16 September 1980, just a fortnight and a day after the Brigade had been established through the redesignation of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 72d Field Artillery Group.The unit was originally formed as the 349th Field Artillery on 24 October 1917, one of three Field Artillery Regiments assigned to the 92nd Division commanded by Major General Charles C. Ballou. Entering the line on 29 August 1918 in the St. Die sector in France, the Regiment took part in one World War I campaign before the end of hostilities in November of that year. It also earned credit for two campaigns as HQ and HQ Battery, 349th Field Artillery Group during World War II (Rhineland and Central Europe). Following an inactivation of fourteen-and-a-half years, the Brigade was reactivated in 2006 to serve as a training Brigade for post-mobilized and pre-deployment units in the Army Reserve and National Guard.Scarlet and yellow, colors long associated with Field Artillery, are used for the 72nd Field Artillery Unit patch (except of course for subdued versions worn with combat uniforms). A black ball in the center of the insignia emulates a bulls-eye, denoting accurate fire. Two pheons, or arrow-shaped objects, are signs of firepower, and their configuration creates the appearance of a number “7” on top and a “2” below, indicating the numerical designation of the Brigade. 3 inch by 1 3/4 inch To USA free shipping From a healthy and smoke free home.
