Official USMC Marine Air Navigation School Patch — Marine Corps Aviation Training Embroidered Patch
Where Marine navigators learn to find their way — because GPS doesn't always work in a combat zone.
The Marine Air Navigation School trains Marine Corps aviators and aircrew in the fundamentals and advanced techniques of aerial navigation. While modern aircraft carry sophisticated GPS and inertial navigation systems, the ability to navigate using dead reckoning, celestial observation, and map reading remains a critical skill set — especially when electronic systems are degraded by enemy jamming or equipment failure. The Navigation School ensures that Marine aircrews can find their way to the target and back home, regardless of what technology is available.
Perfect For:
Marine Air Navigation School graduates and instructors, Marine Corps aviation training personnel, C-130 and transport aircrew, and USMC aviation training patch collectors.
Navigation School. Find your way.
