Korean Military Advisory Group
a better view of the patch
The United States formally recognized the Republic of Korea on 1 January 1949. PMAG, on 1 July 1949 with the departure of the last American troops of the 5th Regimental Combat Team from Korea, became the United States Military Advisory Group to the Republic of Korea or as it was commonly known, KMAG. At that time KMAG became an integral part of the U.S. State Department’s American Mission to Korea, thus becoming independent of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur’s Far East Command. This move also put South Korea outside of what the United States considered its strategic defense zones, something which weighed heavily in the decision process when North Korea decided to "liberate South Korea’s oppressed masses from the corrupt Rhee Government."

That sling might have provided a bit more support if it had been wrapped around that Korean's hand correctly.
