Official MALS-39 Hellhounds PVC Chest Patch — Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 Hellhounds PVC Chest Patch
The Hellhounds in PVC — MALS-39's squadron chest patch in durable PVC, representing the maintainers and logisticians who keep MAG-39's aircraft mission-ready.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 (MALS-39), the "Hellhounds," is the aviation logistics squadron supporting Marine Aircraft Group 39 (MAG-39) at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California. MALS-39 provides intermediate-level maintenance, supply, and logistics support to MAG-39's squadrons, ensuring that the aircraft group's helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft are maintained, armed, and ready for combat operations.
MAG-39 is part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and includes light attack helicopter, tiltrotor, and heavy-lift helicopter squadrons operating the AH-1Z Viper, UH-1Y Venom, MV-22B Osprey, and CH-53E Super Stallion. MALS-39's Hellhounds maintain the critical supply chain, intermediate maintenance shops, and ordnance capabilities that keep these diverse aircraft types flying. The "Hellhounds" name captures the tenacity and relentless work ethic of the squadron's Marines — they hunt down maintenance problems and supply shortfalls with the same intensity that a hellhound pursues its quarry.
This PVC chest patch is designed for wear on the chest area of flight suits or utility uniforms, featuring durable PVC construction that resists moisture, dirt, and the oil and grease that are unavoidable in the maintenance environment.
Perfect For: MALS-39 Hellhounds members and veterans, MAG-39 community, 3rd MAW logistics personnel, MCAS Camp Pendleton community, and Marine aviation logistics PVC patch collectors.
MALS-39 Hellhounds — the hounds that keep the pack flying — PVC tough for maintenance tough.
