Canadian Forces 4th Division CADPAT Patch

The Canadian Forces 4th Division CADPAT Patch is a fabric insignia representing the 4th Canadian Division of the Canadian Army. This particular patch features the distinctive Canadian Disruptive Pattern (CADPAT) camouflage, which is notable for its pixelated design intended for concealment in woodland environments. The patch is typically rectangular or shield-shaped, displaying the division’s identifying insignia, usually a stylized gold maple leaf with the number “4,” set against the CADPAT background. Patches such as this are worn on the combat uniforms of division personnel to denote unit affiliation and are secured via a hook-and-loop backing or traditional stitching. The 4th Canadian Division, responsible for military operations in Ontario, is one of four regional divisions comprising the Canadian Army. Collectors and historians may find this patch relevant as an example of modern Canadian military heraldry and uniform standards implemented in the early 21st century.
