The British Afghanistan ISAF Woven Patch is a military insignia associated with British forces deployed as part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. ISAF was a NATO-led security mission established in December 2001 to assist the Afghan government in maintaining security following the Taliban’s removal. This patch, typically worn on the combat uniform, signifies service under ISAF command during the Afghanistan conflict. The woven construction provides a durable design, displaying a combination of national and ISAF symbols, commonly incorporating subdued colors for operational use. The patch is rectangular or shield-shaped, and the design may include text such as “ISAF” alongside national identifiers like the Union Jack or a reference to the British Army. Items of this type are collected for their association with recent British military operations and serve as a record of service during overseas deployments under NATO auspices. Patch size and variations can differ depending on period and unit.
