Support Forces Command Patch 7x8cm – Ukrainian Armed Forces PVC Insignia

Support Forces Command Patch 7x8cm — PVC insignia representing the Command of Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Командування Сил підтримки ЗСУ). This 7×8 cm patch is worn by personnel serving in units providing essential combat and rear support, including engineering troops, signal units, electronic warfare, logistics, and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) defense.

Established to streamline and centralize various support elements of the Ukrainian military, the Support Forces Command coordinates battlefield infrastructure, fortification, communications, and technical maintenance for combat formations.

Historical Background – Support Forces Command of Ukraine:

The Support Forces Command was formed in 2018 as part of Ukraine’s military modernization efforts, consolidating non-combat troops critical to maintaining operational capability. This includes engineering brigades, pontoon bridge units, electronic warfare elements, fuel and transport services, field hospitals, and chemical protection teams.

During the full-scale Russian invasion beginning in 2022, the Command’s subordinate units became vital in fortifying positions, restoring damaged infrastructure, ensuring communication across commands, and countering chemical or radiological threats.

Support Forces personnel operate under high risk, often near frontlines, ensuring that Ukrainian combat troops remain supplied, connected, and protected — making them an indispensable backbone of Ukraine’s war effort.
