How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: place the patch on the CBT camouflage uniform above the “ESERCITO” name tape, following unit regulations. The patch is made for operational/service wear and integrates with other front uniform elements.

In most cases, the patch is attached with Velcro where provided or sewn for a more permanent fit, depending on the unit’s practice. It is useful for personnel who need an ordered, regulation-compliant insignia and for collectors who hold required authorization.

Care and notes

Follow uniform and unit rules when fitting and caring for the patch; the product is built for service use but requires proper handling.

• If Velcro is used, check attachment regularly; sewing gives the most durable result when allowed by regulations.
• Clean the uniform following the garment’s instructions; avoid aggressive cleaning methods on the patch.
• Sale and delivery are restricted: available to Army personnel after identity/service verification and to collectors with the required prefectoral license (art. 28 TULPS).
