This PVC patch represents the training command that produces CBP's aviation workforce.
NATC Jacksonville provides initial and recurrent training across CBP's fleet of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial systems, including platforms like the Dash-8 maritime patrol aircraft and various rotary-wing platforms.
