USAF 321st STS / Brown Team Patch Set

USAF 321st Special Tactics Squadron / Brown Team Patch Set

Circa 2015/7'

Stationed at RAF Mildenhall, UK; the 321st STS has a quite a funny story about these patches. If you look at the patch there is a brown object by the brush on earth and the story goes that brown teams clean the world of all the sh*#t! This patch is used by CCT's and PJ's.

321st Special Tactics Squadron (321st STS) provides a fast reaction, a 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 pararescuemen 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 bolt represents the air-ground interface provided by the unit personnel and indicates their rapid response to duty. The dagger and parachute symbolize 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

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.
