Description
The US 9th Army, a vital component of the Allied forces during WW2, played a significant role in the European theatre, particularly during the invasion of France and the push into Germany. Following its deactivation in 1945, the Ninth Army was reactivated in 2012 to oversee critical military operations globally, including its leading role in the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM).
This patch is uniquely shaped as a nonagon, with nine sides that represent the unit’s numerical designation. Its red background is contrasted by a bold white letter ‘A’ in the centre. Measuring 6cm x 6cm, this embroidered patch features precise stitching and vibrant colours, capturing the essence of the Ninth Army’s proud history.
