USAF 321st Special Tactics Squadron / Blue Team Boat / Crusader Patch Set
EXTREMELY RARE! This is the complete patch set from the Blue Team
321st Special Tactics Squadron (321st STS) provides a fast reaction, rapidly-deployable force capable of establishing and providing positive control of the air to ground interface during special operations or conventional missions. Unit combat controllers and pararescue men conduct the reconnaissance, surveillance, assessment and establishment of assault zone sites and provide air traffic control and long-range secure command and control communications. Additionally, the unit provides combat trauma medical care, personnel recovery, and terminal attack control of munitions delivered by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. The squadron also has special operations weathermen assigned to provide weather support for other special operations forces.
Blue and yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel. The divided disc denotes day and night and suggests the “round-the-clock” capabilities of the squadron. The lightning bold represents the air-ground interface provided by the unit personnel and indicates their rapid response to duty. The dagger and parachute symbolise the primary means of combat infiltrations as performed by squadron personnel. The globe indicates the squadron’s ability to deploy anywhere, anytime, under any conditions
The Blue Team patch is a unit at RAF Mildenhall, UK This patch set was made for the 321st Special Tactics Squadron Blue Team. The "BTB" on the patch stands for either "Blue Team Boat" or "Burn The Boat". Although based at nearby RAF Mildenhall as part of the 352d Special Operations Group, the 321st Special Tactics Squadron fulfills various roles including providing Pararescuemen (PJs) and Combat Rescue Officers (CROs) to operate alongside the 56th Rescue Squadron's and their HH-60G Pavehawks.

It is believed that the 321st Special Tactics Squadron is made up of three teams with differing roles:
Silver Steam: provides the PJs and CROs that fly with the 56th RQS
Brown Team: provides most combat controllers, air traffic controllers, etc.
Blue Team: conduct waterborne ops.
All probable crossover to some extent.
