Official MCAS New River PMO Patch — Protecting the Base That Keeps Marine Rotary-Wing Aviation Flying
Every Marine Corps Air Station needs a Provost Marshal's Office. At New River, they protect the home of Marine helicopters.
The Provost Marshal's Office (PMO) at Marine Corps Air Station New River is the law enforcement and security organization responsible for protecting one of the Marine Corps' most important aviation installations. MCAS New River, located adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, is the home of Marine rotary-wing and tiltrotor aviation on the East Coast — the base where CH-53E Super Stallions, CH-53K King Stallions, MV-22B Ospreys, AH-1Z Vipers, and UH-1Y Venoms are maintained, trained, and deployed from. PMO Marines and civilian law enforcement personnel at New River are responsible for physical security, law enforcement patrols, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, force protection, access control, and emergency response across the air station. They protect the aircraft, the flight lines, the hangars, the ammunition storage areas, and the thousands of Marines, Sailors, and civilians who work on the installation every day. PMO at an air station carries unique responsibilities — including coordination with air operations for airfield security, response to aircraft emergencies alongside crash fire rescue, and protection of high-value aviation assets that represent billions of dollars in national defense investment. This patch represents the Marines and law enforcement professionals who keep MCAS New River safe and secure so that Marine aviation can do its job.
Perfect For: MCAS New River PMO Marines and civilian police past and present, Marine Corps military police and law enforcement community members, 5811 MOS Marines, Camp Lejeune-area personnel, and anyone who has served in base security at a Marine Corps Air Station.
