Official MWSS-273 AOPS Fuels Platoon PVC Patch
Keeping the jets fueled and the mission moving at MCAS Beaufort.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 (MWSS-273), known as the "Sweathogs," provides essential airfield operations, engineering, and logistics support to Marine aircraft groups. The Aviation Operations (AOPS) Fuels Platoon is the lifeblood of the flightline — responsible for receiving, storing, testing, and distributing aviation fuel to every aircraft that launches from the airfield. Without the fuels platoon, not a single aircraft gets off the ground. Assigned to Marine Air Control Group 28 (MACG-28) and supporting operations at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, MWSS-273's fuels Marines work around the clock in heat, rain, and cold to ensure an uninterrupted supply of JP-5 and JP-8 reaches every squadron on the flight schedule.
Perfect For:
MWSS-273 Sweathogs current and former members, Marine aviation fuels specialists, MCAS Beaufort personnel, wing support squadron veterans, and Marine logistics PVC patch collectors.
No fuel, no fly — the Sweathogs keep it flowing.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
