Officially Licensed USMC MALS-29 Wolverines 2018 Patch — Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 29 Embroidered Patch
The Wolverines keep MAG-29's heavy lift flying—MALS-29, the aviation logistics backbone of Marine heavy helicopter operations at MCAS New River, commemorated in this 2018 patch.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 29 (MALS-29), the "Wolverines," is the dedicated aviation logistics support squadron for Marine Aircraft Group 29, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, based at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. MALS-29 provides all intermediate-level maintenance, supply support, aviation ordnance, avionics repair, and aircraft component repair for MAG-29's helicopter and tiltrotor squadrons—including CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopters, AH-1Z Vipers, UH-1Y Venoms, and MV-22B Ospreys that form the rotary-wing and tiltrotor backbone of II Marine Expeditionary Force.
This 2018 commemorative patch marks a specific year in the Wolverines' history, celebrating the squadron's achievements and identity during that period. Annual or deployment-specific patches are a cherished tradition in Marine Corps aviation, allowing squadron members to commemorate shared experiences, milestones, and deployments with a tangible piece of squadron history that can be worn and collected.
MALS-29's Marines and sailors perform thousands of maintenance actions monthly to sustain the readiness of MAG-29's diverse fleet, from the massive CH-53E Super Stallion—the largest helicopter in the Western world—to the precision weapons systems on AH-1Z Vipers. The Wolverines deploy forward with MAG-29 squadrons, establishing expeditionary maintenance and supply operations in austere environments from Twentynine Palms to forward operating bases in combat zones, ensuring that Marine aviation maintains the highest possible readiness rates wherever the mission demands.
Perfect For: MALS-29 Wolverines members and veterans from the 2018 era, MAG-29 maintenance and supply personnel, 2nd MAW aviation logisticians, MCAS New River Marines, and Marine Corps aviation maintenance patch collectors.
The Wolverines of MALS-29—fierce, tenacious, and indispensable, keeping MAG-29's rotary-wing fleet turning from New River to every deployment.
