This 1×5-inch embroidered name-tape patch features the Arabic text “القوات اللبنانية” (“Lebanese Forces”) flanking the group’s well-known cedar-tree roundel. The design stays faithful to historical Lebanese Forces aesthetics, using clean traditional Arabic script, a centered cedar emblem in green with a red circle, and long rectangular proportions consistent with identification tapes worn on uniforms, chest rigs, jackets, and field equipment.
All three variants—Black, White, and Olive Drab Green—are crafted to serve different display needs and gear setups:
Black Variant: High-contrast white text on a black field with a vivid red satin border. This style resembles many late-civil-war and post-war LF identification tapes.
White Variant: A clean parade-style background with black lettering, crisp red embroidery, and a prominent cedar emblem. Ideal for collectors building a full spectrum of LF insignia.
Olive Drab Variant: A subdued military tone with dark text, muted OD fabric, and a tactical look appropriate for field-use reproductions or realistic gear builds.
Each patch uses a red satin border, producing a sharp, uniform finish across all colorways while preserving color consistency with the historical cedar-circle emblem. The long, slim format ensures compatibility with uniforms, jackets, plate carriers, backpacks, and framed displays.

Historical Context
The Lebanese Forces (al-Quwāt al-Lubnāniyya) emerged as a major Christian political-military organization during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990). Their insignia frequently incorporated Arabic name tapes featuring the cedar emblem, reflecting themes of Lebanese nationalism, militia identity, and organizational cohesion. Variants of these tapes appeared on field uniforms, checkpoints, personal gear, and organizational clothing through the 1980s and early post-war period.
Collectors of Middle Eastern military history often seek multiple colorways to reflect different operational environments, parade uniforms, or unit-specific preferences—making these three versions ideal for building a complete, accurate representation of LF insignia.
