A total of 42 units have incorporated the Jolly Green Giant as a patch, with some using it for varying durations and amidst changing designations. The list below outlines all the units that have utilized this emblem and their respective designations. For instance, the 41st employed the Jolly Green patch as both an ARRS and an RQS, thus it is noted as the 41st ARRS/RQS. Click on a specific unit to access its official history directly. I hope you will find this list beneficial as a convenient reference for locating a particular unit. If you possess any additional information, please feel free to leave a comment, and I will incorporate it into the history.

Maybe add Det 14 (Keflavik) under the 67 ARRS.
ReplyDeleteI've added Det. 14, thanks for the idea.
DeleteHi there, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I recently found a "Jolly Green" patch that was my Grandfather's. He was in the air force during Vietnam, but I'm not sure what unit or anything he was in. I looked through most of your images of different Jolly Green patches, but I can't find one that matches his patch. It says "original" at the top, instead of a unit. I found one image of yours that shows an "original" patch, but it's a different green giant. Is there any chance you might be able to help me find out more about where it came from? I can send you an image of it, if that's alright with you. Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteI'll help you no problems. Just send another message with your email and I'll contact you. Don't worry putting your email in a message I have to approve all of them so it won't go public. Looking forward to helping out and getting you answers.
