MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

FROM: Commander, Fayetteville Composite Squadron

SUBJECT: New Squadron Patch

1. I am pleased to announce the production of the new Fayetteville Composite Squadron
patch. The basic design of the patch came from then Flight Officer Robert R. Kennedy
and was approved by Colonel Larry J. Ragland (North Carolina Wing Commander).

2. The new patch has the words "Fayetteville Composite Squadron" in black letters on
the bottom white scroll. Above that is the Market House which is one of Fayetteville's
oldest and most recognizable landmarks. Behind the Market House is the shape of North
Carolina. Above the Market house is another white scroll with red letters "NC 007"
which are the letter/number combination that identifies Fayetteville Composite Squadron,
and "First to Find" which is the squadron motto speaking of the emergency services
capabilities of the unit. Above and to the left of the scroll is a parachute which
represents the close relationship between Fayetteville Composite Squadron and Fort Bragg
which is home to United States Army Special Operations Forces and the 82nd Airborne
Division. To the right of that are two gliders, representing the aerospace focus of the
squadron surrounded be seven stars. The stars also represent aerospace and the number
seven comes from the unit designation "NC-007".

3. POC for this memorandum is Major Joshua Bauer, joshua.bauer@us.army.mil.
