USAF 321st STS / Silver Team Patch

USAF 321st Special Tactics Squadron / Silver Team Patch

This is an authentic Silver Team Patch from the 321st Special Tactics Squadron. The patch was made in 2008 by the team and replaced by a new team patch in 2012. The replacement patch was a black rectangle with silver dragon and green letter "Silver Team". The maroon represents the beret worn by the PJ's, the silver represents the silver team and the grey beret worn by a few SOWT team members. The green feet in the patch are historical to the Pararescue career field and the dagger/lighting bolt represent Special Tactics and our CCT bros. This patch is not made anymore, pretty hard to find.

The 321st Special Tactics Squadron is an active ground unit, within the 352d Special Operations Group (352 SOG), United States Air Force, United States European Command, and is based at Royal Air Force station, RAF Mildenhall, in Suffolk, eastern England. This squadron, combined with the airborne units in the 352d Special Operations Group allow the group to be capable of handling situations within a 4,300 km (2,700 mi) range of RAF Mildenhall, or further with fuel stops, and make up the special operations forces element of the United States Air Forces in Europe. Their specialized training and support structure make them a very versatile unit within the armed forces.
