US Army 1St Cavalry Division Patch OCP PMV-0001C

US Army 1St Cavalry Division Scorpion OCP with Fastener Patch PMV-0001C. This patch is designed for wear on the Army Multicam/OCP uniforms and comes with hook-and-loop fasteners for easy application to that uniform. The 1st Cavalry Division, known also as the 'First Team' is currently headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas. The color black, on the patch, is an homage to the units transformation from horses to tanks and armored vehicles and is the color of iron. The diagonal stripe, which also serves as a representation of military honor in heraldry, symbolizes the division aggressive behavior in battle by suggesting forward mobility. The lone horsehead not only acknowledges the division beginnings as a group of mounted soldiers but also displays the numerical designation of the unit.
