You do need a form document to wear a combat patch. For example if you are wearing your units then the deployment orders that took you to theater, with idenifing information of yourself, will do. If you are trying to wear another units patch you need a certificate from that command or your first LTC (0-5). The order, or internal certificate, will do.
