My first thought is that it is not an approved patch, strictly unofficial, and not approved by DND. DND has no approved unit patches for wear on the sleeve of camouflage uniforms. I’m sure there are some who will say that the CO approved it, but that doesn’t make it “officially” approved. I’ve seen lots of examples of unit patches being worn on operations, some with only the section commander or platoon commanders authorization. I’ve even seen mini blue and white PQ flags worn in lieu of the Canadian flag.
