CH-53 Afghanistan Ribbon Patch — Sikorsky CH-53 Super Stallion OEF Service Ribbon Embroidered Patch
CH-53 Afghanistan — heavy-lift helicopters in the mountains of Operation Enduring Freedom, paired with the Afghanistan campaign ribbon.
The CH-53E Super Stallion provided critical heavy-lift capability during Operation Enduring Freedom, transporting troops, vehicles, artillery, and supplies across Afghanistan's rugged mountain terrain where road networks were limited and ground movement was dangerous. The Super Stallion's ability to lift heavy loads at high altitudes was essential in a country where many bases sat above 5,000 feet elevation. CH-53 crews flew in extreme heat, dust storms, and high-density altitude conditions. This ribbon patch combines the Afghanistan campaign service ribbon with the Marine Corps' heavy lifter.
Perfect For:
CH-53 OEF veterans, Marine heavy helicopter squadron Afghanistan veterans, Super Stallion aircrew, Afghanistan campaign ribbon collectors, and OEF aviation patch collectors.
