Does anyone recognize the language shown on this patch? It was with a group of 50s-60s USAF patches.
What type of Medical unit and what C H S on the pine tree signify?
Any help is appreciated.

The closest of anything I can find is the Center for Hellenic Studies and the writing looks like it might be Greek.

Thanks for replying. I have had suggestions from a few people but neither have panned out. I've had Korean, Japanese Katakana, Thai, and Mid Eastern. Someone will ID eventually.
The C H S on the Pinetree has also brought various answers but nothing concrete.
 
Is there anyone on site that can translate the wording on this patch?
I was told it is Japanese but I have not had any luck getting it translated.
Is it for an Aeromedical Evacuation Unit?
Any help is appreciated.

Now being told it is Korean.
Any help translating or identifying patch is appreciated.
 
I understood a Korean medic soldier, Ji Na-min, was given training at Charleston Air Force Base in the 1950s (or 60's) and left this patch for his instructor with his gratitude like "Ji Na-min now goes back to Korea". Just my instant impression to see the letters.
 
So is this a Korean Army or Korean Air Force patch? Any ideas concerning the C H S letters?

Thank you
