Official VMGR-153 Hercules Tsunami Support Team PVC Patch — USMC Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron Humanitarian Relief Patch
When the tsunami hit — VMGR-153 was there, delivering relief with the Hercules.
VMGR-153 operates the KC-130J Super Hercules from MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and the squadron's Pacific location puts it at the forefront of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations across the Indo-Pacific. This Tsunami Support Team PVC patch commemorates the squadron's response to tsunami disaster relief operations, where KC-130 crews delivered critical supplies, personnel, and equipment to devastated areas. The Marine Corps' ability to rapidly project logistics capability from the air makes VMGR squadrons essential to disaster response, and VMGR-153's Pacific basing ensures they are often among the first military assets to respond.
Perfect For:
VMGR-153 Marines who participated in tsunami relief operations, KC-130 Hercules crews, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief veterans, and USMC PVC deployment and mission patch collectors.
VMGR-153. Tsunami relief. Hercules delivers.
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.
