It tells you everything you need.

Otherwise his unit SSI will be his patch if he meets the qualifications. FWTSSI are not meant to be awards for operations support, actual ribbons and medals are intended for that. 1SG Dennis Hicks Thu, 30 Jan 2020 13:21:19 -0500 2020-01-30T13:21:19-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-is-the-process-for-getting-a-support-person-a-combat-patch-from-my-unit?n=5500219&urlhash=5500219 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If he&#39;s a reservist, the reserve had a fascination with a commander signing a memo to award combat patches in these situations.
