Description: This US Army subdued patch measures 3" by 2", used condition. Its motto is LIGHT SWIFT ACCURATE ! A valuable addition to your collection of Vietnam war memorabilia items. Nicknamed "The Redcatchers", the 199th LIB was hastily moved to Song Be, Vietnam in December, 1966 to provide an increased U.S. presence in the III Corps Tactical Zone. The brigade was conducting Operation Uniontown in Dong Nai Province when the 1968 Tet Offensive began. It immediately began a defense of U.S. II Field Force headquarters at Long Binh and the Bien Hoa Air Base against attacks by the VC 275th Regiment. One battalion was moved by helicopter to attack a Viet Cong command post at the Phu Tho racetrack inside Saigon, then engaged in house-to-house fighting in Cho Lon. During 1969, the 199th was responsible for the security of the region north and east of the capital, and in 1970 moved into the "Iron Triangle" when other units participated in the Cambodian Incursion. Unit was inactivated in October 1970. Worldwide combined shipment is welcome. Please visit my 'EAZYCOLLECTIBLES' store for more great war items. Thanks.
