In January 2003, the UK Ministry of Defence announced that it had decided to procure the US Javelin for the Light Forces Anti-Tank Guided Weapon System (LFATGWS) requirement. It entered UK service in 2005 replacing the MILAN and Swingfire systems

Its official trade badge on No1 & No2 Dress was AT in Wreath (for Anti Tank) there was no Combat Dress or MTP badge authorised or issued, but as Marc says they probably wore a US designed badge instead.
