ARTIFACT:
This is a scarce circa 1966 or 1967 MIKE (Mobile Strike Force Command) Force pocket patch. MIKE was a section of the United States Army Special Forces in which Americans and indigenous soldiers fought together. The patch is Vietnamese-made and shows a dagger and crossbow above three lightning bolts. This patch is in a larger-size variation without an arc. This patch came to us along with several other Special Forces patches and insignia (please see links at bottom of page for more information: all items sold separately). We unfortunately currently do not know the name or anything about the Special Forces soldier to whom these all once belonged.
