Official VMFA-311 Tomcats Japan Det Patches
The Tomcats on deployment — representing Marine fighter attack in the Pacific.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 311 (VMFA-311), the Tomcats, is one of the Marine Corps' premier fighter attack squadrons, operating the F-35C Lightning II as part of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11) under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. This Japan detachment patch represents the squadron's forward-deployed presence in the Western Pacific, where Marine aviation maintains a critical role in the defense of the Indo-Pacific region. Detachments to Japan place Marine fighter squadrons at the tip of the spear, ready to respond to contingencies across the Pacific theater. The Tomcats' Japan det patch captures a specific deployment and a specific mission — Marine strike aviation forward deployed and ready to fight.
Perfect For:
VMFA-311 Tomcats current and former members, F-35C Lightning II community members, MAG-11 personnel, Japan-deployed Marines, and Marine fighter aviation collectors.
