ISAF
- INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE FORCE

[Miscellaneous main]
These two badges are from ISAF
in Afganstan.
The ISAF badge is worn by all personnel in the Force (much like the SFOR or KFOR badges). The tiger is the badge of KMNB (Kabul Multinational Brigade). Irish personnel have served with ISAF since July 2002 and with KMNB since February 2003.
Collectors must remember that there would be a number of variations and sizes to
these badges because of national preference to size and shade. Those worn
by the Irish were from the same source in Kabul.

badge were first worn by the personnel of IRCON XV (Apr - Oct 2007).
Both the ISAF and NATO badge are worn but not together depending on which Staff
appointment a person holds.
The CIED (Counter Improvised Explosive Device), JVC (Joint Visitors Center),
SAC (Situation Awareness Centre) badges are worn by
Irish personnel in these
sections.
For the first three months of the tour the Irish wore the home pattern DPM's but
then changed to desert pattern.
With the uniform change came locally made badges, Name tab and rank slider.
