These are Guardsmen.
Patch Primer: The left sleeve is for the soldier's current unit patch. If these soldiers were in 1 Cav Div, the patch would be on the left sleeve.
The right sleeve patch is known as the "Combat Patch" and soldiers are authorized to wear the patch of the unit they were with in a combat zone for a specified period of time. For example, if he was with 1 Cav Div in Iraq ten years ago, he can wear their patch now in the NG.
