I don’t know Army shoulder patches that well - but those didn’t look like National Guard - I’m thinking they may have been 10th Mountain? based on what I could see from the badges on the right arms.... nope just checked not 10th Mountain. Definitely not Maryland National Guard as they have a multicolored patch with their state emblem on it.

Patch is a black upper color with two silhouetted white mountain peaks offset from center... maybe a regimental patch? Definitely appears to be active duty though
