There was some unique insignia worn for Kiska. The Task Force 9 patch, commonly called the Kiska patch was issued for the participating units. These were made in an unusual printed material and a fully embroidered pattern. Elements of the Canadian contingent, part of Greenlight Force, wore the Pacific Command formation sign, with a small yellow star. Other components wore the 7 Cdn Division signs. The Canadian Fusiliers were issued black berets for the operation.
When the Canadians returned from Kiska they were ordered to remove the Kiska patch.
