Riverside Air Unit March Air Reserve Base Patch — Riverside Air Unit, March Air Reserve Base, California Embroidered Patch
Riverside Air Unit — flying from the historic March Field.
The Riverside Air Unit operates from March Air Reserve Base (formerly March Air Force Base) in Riverside County, California, one of the most historic military airfields in the United States. March Field has been in continuous use since 1918, serving as a training base in World War I, a bomber base in World War II, and a Strategic Air Command installation during the Cold War before becoming an Air Force Reserve facility.
The Riverside Air Unit conducts aviation operations from March ARB, which today is home to the 452nd Air Mobility Wing and various tenant units that maintain a significant military aviation presence in Southern California's Inland Empire. The base's strategic location provides access to vast military training airspace over the California desert while remaining close to major population centers. Air units operating from March contribute to mobility, airlift, and aerial refueling missions that support operations worldwide. This patch identifies the Riverside Air Unit's presence at one of the Air Force's most storied installations, connecting modern aviation operations to over a century of military flying heritage.
This patch represents the Riverside Air Unit at March ARB.
Perfect For: Riverside Air Unit personnel, March Air Reserve Base veterans, 452nd Air Mobility Wing members, and historic Air Force base patch collectors.
