[Serious_Exsanguination]

We found, after some time in the direct Sun and heat, that the IR flags would separate from the velcro underneath. The X stitching or box has been added to stop that. There will be a lot of variation between flags as they were done by various LN contract or by Mat Tech when they had time (almost never). This is also how the arm pockets on the CF combats w/ velcro are done as well by LN civilian contract. There will be a lot of variation to quality of materials and the work.

IR IFF patches are dependent on the units. There is some variation, due to supply, mission and CoC. My last gig, we were issued a mix of tan/black and green/black IR national flags as well as unit IFF patches. UNIT IFF patches should not be posted on ASC....OPSEC.
