Historical Context
The Bolivian 2nd Ranger Battalion became historically significant during the 1967 campaign against Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s guerrilla column in Bolivia. The battalion was organized and trained as an elite counterinsurgency force with assistance from a U.S. Army 8th Special Forces Group Mobile Training Team operating out of the Panama Canal Zone.
Elements of this battalion later captured Che Guevara near La Higuera in October 1967, making the unit one of the most notable Latin American ranger formations of the Cold War period. This patch is a reproduction of the style of insignia associated with that battalion and its role in Bolivian military history.
