HMLA-369 Gunfighters Gunner Shoulder Patch — The Gunner Rides Shotgun
In the back seat of a Cobra, the Gunner doesn't just ride — the Gunner fights.
HMLA-369 "Gunfighters" is a Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron flying the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom out of MCAS Camp Pendleton, California, under MAG-39 and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. Commissioned in 1972 at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, the Gunfighters saw their first combat just two months later during Operation MARHUK — the Marine Hunter Killer program that marked the first offensive air operations with attack helicopters in Marine Corps history. Since then, the Gunfighters have served in Desert Shield/Storm as the first HMLA in theater, Operation Restore Hope in Somalia, and multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This shoulder patch specifically recognizes the AH-1Z Gunner — the weapons systems officer in the front seat who designates targets, fires missiles, and makes sure every round counts.
Perfect For: HMLA-369 Gunfighters Marines, AH-1Z Viper WSOs and gunners, attack helicopter aircrew, MCAS Camp Pendleton squadrons, MAG-39 and 3rd MAW personnel, and anyone who earned their seat in the front of a Cobra.
HMLA-369 Gunfighters — the Gunner makes the kill.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
