U.S. ARMY Airborne Tab Patch by COMMANDO
The COMMANDO U.S. ARMY Airborne Tab Patch represents one of the most recognisable identifiers associated with American airborne forces. The word “AIRBORNE” identifies units trained and organised to deploy by parachute or other aircraft-based methods, allowing soldiers to enter an operational area from the air.
The U.S. Army's airborne tab has a history dating back to the Second World War. In 1943, Army uniform regulations directed members of airborne units to wear the tab immediately above their unit shoulder sleeve insignia. This established the tab as a distinctive marker of airborne service and unit identity. It is still used as part of the insignia of a number of U.S. Army airborne formations.
The tab is particularly familiar from the shoulder patches of well-known formations such as the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. Although the wording is consistent, the tab is worn in conjunction with the insignia of the relevant formation, rather than identifying one specific division by itself.
This woven COMMANDO patch reproduces the traditional AIRBORNE tab design in a compact format, making it suitable for military patch collections, display or adding an airborne-themed detail to compatible clothing and equipment.
