2nd ACCS Looking Glass Target Intel
The illustrated patch
is already the second version of the so called "Type I" patch. The first initial
patch was created around 1968 during the SAC years when the intel team was made
up of two planners and sometimes ones of the was a target intel planner - a more
specialized field of intelligence. They did not care for being labelled "just an
intel jockey" so they created a patch which probably was the first battlestaff
patch worn aboard the LOOKING GLASS. The illustrated version replaced the
outdated office symbol of DOOI on the patch and now reads LOOKING GLASS TARGET
INTEL. A similar version exists with just the word "INTEL" at the bottom for all
those who served in intel but not in target intel. Patch information courtesy of
Maj Greg Ogeltree's (USAF, ret.) ASMIC Trading Post article Summer 1994, pages

collection.
