Product Description

Officially Licensed US Navy VQ-3 Ironman Squadron Patch — The Voice of the Triad

Because when the President needs to talk to the boomers, VQ-3 makes the call.

VQ-3, the Ironmen, fly the E-6B Mercury — the U.S. Navy's airborne command post for the nation's nuclear deterrent. Operating under the TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) mission, the Ironmen provide survivable, reliable communications to the Navy's fleet ballistic missile submarines as part of the strategic nuclear triad. If the worst day ever comes, VQ-3 is the squadron that ensures the order gets through. Based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, the Ironmen maintain 24/7 readiness to launch and establish communications with submarine forces anywhere in the world. This is one of the most critical and least publicized missions in the entire Department of Defense.

Perfect For: VQ-3 Ironmen aircrew and personnel past and present, E-6B Mercury community members, TACAMO veterans, and anyone who understands that strategic deterrence depends on assured communications.

Take Charge and Move Out. VQ-3 Ironmen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
