Official VR-55 Minutemen Pacific Coast Hercs Sticker — Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 55 Vinyl Sticker
Pacific Coast Hercs—VR-55 Minutemen, the Navy Reserve's West Coast Hercules squadron, hauling cargo and keeping the fleet supplied from NAS Point Mugu.
Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 55 (VR-55), the "Minutemen," is a United States Navy Reserve squadron based at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California, operating the Lockheed Martin C-130T Hercules transport aircraft. VR-55 provides strategic and tactical airlift capability in support of Navy and Marine Corps operations worldwide, delivering high-priority cargo, personnel, and mail to fleet units across the Pacific and beyond. The Minutemen are one of the Navy's premier reserve logistics support squadrons, maintaining combat-ready aircrews and aircraft that can be mobilized on short notice.
The C-130T Hercules is the Navy variant of the legendary C-130 tactical airlifter—the most versatile and widely operated military transport aircraft in history. With a cargo capacity of approximately 42,000 pounds, the ability to operate from short and unimproved airstrips, and a range exceeding 2,000 nautical miles, the Hercules is the workhorse of military logistics support. VR-55's "Pacific Coast Hercs" identity celebrates the squadron's West Coast mission, hauling freight and passengers across the vast Pacific Ocean to support fleet operations from California to Hawaii, Japan, Guam, and throughout the theater.
As a Navy Reserve squadron, VR-55's crews are citizen-sailors who maintain their tactical airlift proficiency while serving in civilian careers, drilling regularly and deploying when called upon to augment active-duty logistics support. The Minutemen name reflects the squadron's readiness to respond at a moment's notice—echoing the American Revolutionary War militia members who pledged to be ready for battle within minutes. VR-55 has been activated and deployed in support of multiple contingency operations, providing the critical airlift that keeps the Navy and Marine Corps logistics pipeline flowing.
Perfect For: VR-55 Minutemen members and veterans, C-130T Hercules community members, Navy Reserve aviation personnel, NAS Point Mugu aviators, fleet logistics support professionals, and military airlift enthusiasts.
Pacific Coast Hercs—the Minutemen of VR-55, keeping the fleet supplied and the cargo moving from Point Mugu across the Pacific, ready to answer the call in minutes.
