Am unsure where these items were manufactured but I assume that it was in-country. As far as I know, this patch was only worn by 1 NZATTV.
New Zealand maintained three Training Teams in South Vietnam, 1 NZATTV, 2 NZATTV and a small team with the Australian Army Training Team (AATV).
As stated in my original post 1 NZATTV was Based at Chi Lang from January 1971 to December 1972 and had a strength of 25 with the role of training South Vietnamese platoon commanders in tactics and small-arms techniques
From Jan 71 to Dec 72, approximately 86 Kiwis would rotate through 1 NZATTV.
In March 1972 a second Training Team 2 NZATTV was established at Dong Ba Thin, close to Cam Ram Bay. 2 NZATTV had a strength of 18 and its role was to train Cambadioan Battalions.
From Mar 72 to Dec 72, approximately 32 Kiwis would rotate through 2 NZATTV.
The Third Training Team was attached to the Australian Army Training Team (AATV). Approximately 9 Kiwis would be attached to the ATTV.
