U.S. Army Arizona National Guard OCP Patch with Hook Fastener (pair)

The Arizona Army National Guard patch features authorized heraldic imagery that honors the unit's home state and defensive mission. Rendered in a subdued green and brown color palette for the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform, this patch includes a hook-fastener backing for standard military uniform placement.

The Visual Symbols and Heraldry:

Sunburst Shield: The top segment of the heptagonal (seven-sided) shield features radiating lines modeled after the Arizona state flag, symbolizing the unit's regional identity and the Southwest.

Crossed Arrows: Two intersecting Native American arrows point downward, serving as a traditional emblem of peace and recognizing the indigenous history of the region.

The Central Bayonet: An upright combat bayonet is positioned vertically over the arrows, representing the Guard's modern military readiness, vigilance, and defensive strength.
