Is the 1st Marine Division Patch an authorized Army combat patch?

35K

Marines do not wear combat patches on any of our uniforms, but we do have patches that represent our Divisions. I recently encountered a US Army soldier who is a former Marine and he had a 1st Marine Division patch on his right shoulder. Has the Army authorized this patch to be worn as a combat patch for soldiers who served in combat when they were in the Marine Corps?

Simple is this. If the Soldier was not in the Army, and had assignment orders to the unit, at the time that the Soldier was in combat with another service, it is not authorized.
