Marine Air Traffic Control Unit MATCU-62 — Embroidered Patch
Forward Field Air Traffic Control
MATCU-62 provided the deployable air traffic control capability that established safe and efficient air operations at forward airfields and expeditionary airstrips. This patch represents the Marines who set up shop wherever the mission demanded.
Marine Air Traffic Control Units (MATCUs) provided expeditionary air traffic control services, deploying portable radar and communications equipment to establish air traffic control at forward operating locations, austere airfields, and expeditionary airstrips. MATCU-62 Marines operated approach control, ground control, and departure services in environments where no permanent ATC infrastructure existed, enabling Marine aviation to operate safely from the most remote and austere locations.
Perfect For:
MATCU-62 veterans, Marine expeditionary air traffic controllers, forward airfield operations Marines, and Marine aviation heritage collectors.
MATCU-62 — Tower Anywhere.
