You will have clues in : http://smallwarsjournal.com/documents/cale.pdf

Also "Diosuno" is the first word of a Spanish prayer meaning that there is only one God inside a Trinity of three persons... http://www.franciscanos.org/oracion/rnb23.html

RTAD -- Research Tactical Arms Development (need to be confirmed by the army)

the national slogan of El Salvador is Dios, Unión, Libertad. It may have some reference to that, also. - 0074b507, Dec 4, 2011

Worn by the US MilGroup "Advisors" (U.S. Army Special Forces) in El Salvador. The Riad is probably an acronym.

The technical term for this Patch seems to be a Shoulder Scroll.

Either that's RTAD or there are no i's in the first word (which looks more like diosunio, actually). Anyway the second letter in RTAD has a crossbar and the second letter of diosunio does not. - webdunce, Dec 4, 2011
