U.S. Army Auxiliary/Civil Defense Corps OCP Embroidered Patch – 3"

Civil Defense IS National Defense.

Show your support for the effort to establish a United States Army Auxiliary/Civil Defense Corps with this distinctive military-style embroidered patch.

Designed primarily in subdued OCP-compatible colors, the patch combines a field-ready appearance with a full-color red, white, and blue U.S. Army Auxiliary shield at its center.

The full-color shield is superimposed over the traditional Civil Defense triangle, creating a deliberate contrast with the subdued OCP-style background. The outer ring features U.S. ARMY AUXILIARY and CIVIL DEFENSE CORPS embroidered in black against a subdued tan background.

This combination provides the military appearance of an OCP-compatible patch while allowing the patriotic red, white, and blue shield to remain immediately recognizable.

Subdued OCP Colors with a Full-Color Shield

Unlike a completely subdued patch, this design intentionally retains the red, white, and blue colors of the central U.S. shield. The remainder of the patch uses subdued OCP-compatible shades of tan, olive green, and black.

The result is a patch that maintains a military field appearance while giving the central shield a distinctive patriotic focal point.

Support the Mission

The U.S. Army Auxiliary Activation Project advocates for the establishment of a federally authorized Army auxiliary capable of supporting Civil Defense, community preparedness and resilience, public education, volunteer training, and appropriate Army-support missions.

This patch represents that vision: combining the traditions of the United States Army with the historic American concept of an organized, trained, and prepared civilian population.

Wear it on your gear, add it to your collection, or use it to help start a conversation about rebuilding America's Civil Defense capabilities.
