Hi Team

 

Looking for more information on this patch.

 

I originally asummend this was a Kosovo Police Unit but it could be UN based.

 

Note the light blue beret and light blue background.

 

If it is a UN based team why would it be designated SOG 

 

The patch is large 13.cm (5.3inches) x 14cm (5.5inches)

 

all opinions welcomed.

 

cheers

Hi Phill.

 

I believe this is the deployment badge worn by the Czech Special Operations group in Kosovo. This link has information on the unit. https://thortac.com/disbanded-but-not-forgotten-the-czech-special-operations-group/

Thanks Gunner

 

I did find this on the Royal Ulster Constabulary about 3/4 of the way down shows the same patch , brought back from Kosovo by RUS/PSNI (Police Officers Northern Island). There is also a cap with badge of Kosovo mission.

 

I beleive this unit was around 1999-2002  re UNMIK.

 

I think this could of been a combined UN Police SOG team involving elite police individuals from various European Police Forces with military advisors(?).

Maybe a bit early for Czech SOG?

 

 

Cheers for the input.

Thanks Gunner

 

This must be quite a known unit at the time to have what appears to be a Distinctive Unit Insignia?

 

Hopefully we cam find more about the unit.

 

Really appreciate the help Gunner.
