The Ex Eskimo patches, while not easy, are around. (I think that Ex Polar Bear personnel may have worn the Igloo patch as well.) The Musk Ox patches are difficult, and the US ARCTIC CAN are quite scarce. There is another shoulder arc that reads EXERCISE YUKON, which was for another US exercise the year before Sweetbriar. It was held in Alaska and was only US personnel. Why it was called Ex Yukon is a bit of a mystery.
(I have the arc over the Ex Musk Ox patch, but that is an error.)
