Harrison, who was trained as a flight controller, was also a member of the Merchant Service. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses" ) According to an article on StarTrek.com, the assignment patch seen used by the crew of the Antares was a Spacecraft Duty Insignia (as contrasted to the Starship Duty Insignia, which is the arrowhead), used by Auxiliary Fleet and Merchant Marine personnel.
