Officially Licensed USMC MWSS-172 Firebirds Patch — Expeditionary Airfield Support from Kaneohe Bay
The Firebirds of MWSS-172 rise like their namesake to build and defend airfields across the Pacific.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 172 (MWSS-172), the Firebirds, provides expeditionary airfield services for Marine aviation operations from MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. This embroidered patch captures the Firebirds' identity. MWSS-172 delivers crash fire rescue, fuel support, airfield damage repair, base defense, weather services, and field utilities that enable Marine aircraft to operate from austere forward locations across the Indo-Pacific. The Firebird identity symbolizes the squadron's ability to create operational airfields from bare terrain — rising from nothing to full capability.
Perfect For: MWSS-172 Firebirds Marines, Kaneohe Bay wing support personnel, expeditionary airfield specialists, and USMC wing support embroidered patch collectors.
Firebirds — rising to build airfields across the Pacific.
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.
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.
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.
