Officially Licensed USMC VMM-163 Evil Eyes 11th MEU Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 Evil Eyes 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit Embroidered Patch
Evil Eyes deploy with the 11th MEU — Pride of the Pacific.
This VMM-163 "Evil Eyes" 11th MEU patch commemorates the squadron's deployment as the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, operating from amphibious assault ships in forward-deployed theaters around the world. When VMM-163 joins the 11th MEU, the Evil Eyes bring their MV-22B Ospreys to form the core of the MEU's air capability.
The 11th MEU, based at Camp Pendleton, California, is one of the Marine Corps' premier crisis-response forces, maintaining a forward-deployed posture that allows rapid response to humanitarian disasters, non-combatant evacuations, and combat operations. As the ACE, VMM-163's MV-22B Ospreys provide the speed, range, and versatility that define modern amphibious operations — inserting Marines deep inland, conducting ship-to-shore movement, and providing casualty evacuation and resupply across vast distances. The 11th MEU's "Pride of the Pacific" identity combined with VMM-163's Evil Eyes creates a formidable forward-deployed team ready to respond to any crisis in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
This patch marks VMM-163's service with the 11th MEU.
Perfect For: VMM-163 Evil Eyes deployers, 11th MEU veterans, amphibious ready group participants, and MEU deployment patch collectors.
