Greyhawks reinforced — VMM-161(REIN) 25.2 deployment PVC.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 (Reinforced), VMM-161(REIN), the "Greyhawks," is a United States Marine Corps composite squadron built around the MV-22B Osprey and augmented with additional aircraft and capabilities to form the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) of a Marine Expeditionary Unit. Based at MCAS Miramar, California, and assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 16 (MAG-16) under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, the Greyhawks carry the motto "Cavalry From The Sky" — "Equitatus Caeli." This 25.2 PVC patch commemorates a specific deployment rotation.
The "(REIN)" designation indicates that VMM-161 has been reinforced with additional aircraft types — typically AH-1Z Vipers, UH-1Y Venoms, CH-53E Super Stallions, and other enablers — to create the versatile aviation package required for MEU operations. VMM-161(REIN) represents "The First" tiltrotor squadron in Marine aviation history, and the Greyhawks have continued to lead the way in expeditionary tiltrotor operations. This PVC patch features durable, weather-resistant construction with vivid detail that holds up through deployment conditions.
Perfect For: VMM-161(REIN) Greyhawks active-duty members, 25.2 deployment participants, MAG-16 and 3rd MAW alumni, MEU aviation combat element veterans, PVC patch collectors, and Marine tiltrotor community supporters who value the Greyhawks' pioneering role.
