Officially Licensed US Navy VR-55 Minutemen Squadron Patches — Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 55 C-130T Hercules Embroidered Patch
Minutemen — VR-55 delivers when the fleet calls.
Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 55 (VR-55), the "Minutemen," is a United States Navy Reserve squadron operating the C-130T Hercules from NAS Point Mugu, California. VR-55 provides time-sensitive logistics airlift support for the Navy and Marine Corps, flying high-priority cargo, passengers, and mail to fleet units wherever they are deployed. The "Minutemen" name reflects the squadron's readiness posture — like the colonial Minutemen of the American Revolution, VR-55 stands ready to respond at a moment's notice.
As a Naval Reserve squadron, VR-55's citizen-sailors balance civilian careers with maintaining the same operational proficiency as their active-duty counterparts. The C-130T Hercules is the tactical airlift workhorse of the Department of Defense, capable of operating from short, unimproved runways and delivering outsized cargo to locations that larger transport aircraft cannot reach. VR-55's Minutemen have supported operations worldwide, providing the theater logistics airlift that keeps the fleet supplied and operational. This officially licensed patch represents the proud tradition of reserve fleet logistics aviation.
Perfect For: VR-55 Minutemen active-duty and reserve members, C-130 Hercules community supporters, fleet logistics support personnel, Naval Reserve aviation enthusiasts, NAS Point Mugu alumni, and military patch collectors who value the vital logistics airlift mission.
