I'm sending you the "patch" of Sabana Seca.

I think this is the first time an actual patch has been made for the command.
As far as I can remember, I always saw a metallic insignia, which is the first
one from left to right in your site. Then came the cyber days and the next version was created.

Notice in the logo of the left, the castle or fortification behind the anchor.
It is representing the forts/walls built by the Spaniards in San Juan. The two
vertical structures at each end of the fort are known as GARITA or
GARITAS (in plural ). Translated as sentry box. The garitas in the left logo
are not accurate, they look like a triangle, too pointy. The top of the
garitas is more rounded, like in the digital image (right logo) and like in
the patch too.

Sabana Seca was the host for the 544th Intelligence Group.
The official patch is the 544th logo, which their members wore as a pocket patch.
Pocket because it was sewn on one of the front pockets, I believe on the left
front pocket of their tops.

The unofficial patch is the Det 2 image.

The Det was in Sabana Seca from 8 Dec 1995 until 21 July 2000.
