IMHO there is no need for a unit patch on a combat uniform, inless, of course, you are "profiling" instead of combattng.

When I worked with the SAS they didn't wear rank. They said they knew who was who and no body else needed to know. Combat leaders wore distinctive belts, similar to our combat leaders wearing green leadership tabs, presuming they still do.

The Army is getting close to the Boy Scouts in that before long they are going to need sasheh to display all of their ribbons (merit badges).
