Vietnam war shoulder patch

[FieldSearcher]

Anyone know what this Vietnam war shoulder patch is? It’s on a 1966 or before shirt (white name tape and yellow army patch) with an infantry collar patch. I speculate it may depict mountains but I could be wrong.

I spent a few days researching this but to no avail... I made this post and wouldn’t you know it, I found it... 80th division. Doesn’t seem like they saw action in Vietnam so either it’s a random patch sewn on, some in training, or someone station here in the states.

Maybe 3rd mountain division? Wonder if it was a made in country patch and not authorized for official wear, but who cares about rules in a war zone.

On the other hand, when everything hit the fan it was "What do we do now Lieutenant?"

Maybe in the Army........ I asked a second Lt. "Hey Lt. What's the effective kill range of a frag? (grinning) I forgot..........."
