Army cap with velcro - a question ....

So .. if I put a glint patch on my hat I will be protected from Jade Helm 15?

Before reading the other comments, I had assumed it was to mount a small flashlight for night ops and keep your hands free for other stuff. I kinda want one now, flashlight is definitely what I would use it for.

It is for these things. I used to wear these on our boonies. But you have to wear a very small square. UAV can see you very easily. If you have a huge square up there you will flash out your surroundings.

Front: for flag or other hooah patch, back: name or callsign, top: IR tab.

On the very top there's a small square. It's for an IR tab. 511 tactical made a bunch of these hats. I saw contractors during OEF with the same type of hat with the IR tab on top.

I believe it's for an IR tab

The velcro on top is for the little square that is for ID when using night vision goggles. I have a patch on the front of mine of an M18A-1 that reads 'FRONT TOWARD ENEMY'. For the back I leave unused. usually a name tag goes there ...Now drop your self !!

infrared square which can be seeable from the air, kinda like you cat eyes

I believe some people wear that type of hat with an Anerican Flag on it!

Glint tape, just make sure u use a 1 inch square, we would not want the Air support to think your more than a trooper. Scouts Out

I own a black version of this, but mine came with a grey-scale flag for the front.

The hat pictured, a square patch or flag. Back is for name tape

We used to wear those back in the day.....Yeah 75th SF Group Regiment. My finger was the safety and I grew a thick beard. Had a really cool OTV that I ordered from Ranger Joes. Can still here Pacino saying "Hooah!". Those were the days. We held our own on that FOB!

IR tab. It's also on the ACU sewn in on either sleeve.
