Greenlight Force
Several Canadian units were committed to the Kiska operation. Those part of TF 9 wore the Kiska patches (actually TF9 patches). Members of the Canadian Fusiliers as part of Greenlight Force wore the Pacific Command patch with the unofficial addition of a small yellow star. Immediately after withdrawal from Kiska the "stars" were ordered removed.
