Full Colour
c.2013
This patch dates from the c.2013 and was made at the on base hobby shop at RAF Lakenheath as the embroidery is typical of the patch made at Lakenheath. It would have been made for a crewman who was going, or had been with the Detachment at Osan, I'd suspect the latter as I'd doubt you'd be directly deployed to a Detachment before the main Squadron at Kadena. Its a little odd in design as it looks like Detachment 133, however the only logical explanation is that the there wasn't a space between the 1 and the 33.
Its fully embroidered with a selvedge edge & the Giant in Dexter.

Santa's coming down the chimney? Not if his sleigh is a HH-60G Pavehawk it isn't, there's only one way of doing it!

Korean Deployment
Osan AB, South Korea
Full Colour
2019/2020
The patch on the left was first made in either Japan or South Korea during 2019, when the Squadron deployed to Osan AB, South Korea.
Partly embroidered on twill with a selvedge edge and the Giant in Dexter.
The patch ontheright was obtained directly from the 33d RQS in 2020 so was defiantly used by the Squadron. This patch has variations in the colours & is quite different to the earlier version however it looks like the same manufacturer.
Partly embroidered on twill with a selvedge edge, backed with hook & loop with the Giant in Dexter.
