US Army 16th Engineer Brigade Subdued SSI Patch Hook Backing 2-1/4" Round

This is a Novelty United States Army subdued shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) for the 16th Engineer Brigade, famously known as the "Iron Castle" brigade. The design features a circular disc with two crossed towers forming a saltire pattern, symbolizing the unit's specialized combat engineering and construction capabilities. The architecture of the towers cleverly references the unit's numerical designation of 16. Measuring 2-1/4" in diameter, this embroidered patch is rendered in a subdued olive drab and black color scheme for low visibility. It comes equipped with a durable hook-and-loop (hook side) backing, making it ready for immediate attachment to tactical gear, uniforms, or collection display boards.
