Official MWSS-273 Sweathogs Expeditionary Airfields PVC Patch — Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 Sweathogs Expeditionary Airfields PVC Patch
Sweathogs build the airfield — so Marine aviation can fight.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 (MWSS-273) "Sweathogs" is a United States Marine Corps aviation ground support squadron based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, operating within Marine Air Control Group 28 (MACG-28) under 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. This Expeditionary Airfields PVC patch specifically honors the squadron's airfield construction and operations capability — the Marines who build, maintain, and operate forward airfields in austere environments.
MWSS-273's expeditionary airfield Marines are the reason Marine aviation can operate from anywhere in the world. When a forward operating base needs a runway, taxiway, parking apron, or arresting gear, the Sweathogs deploy with their heavy equipment and AM-2 matting to create a functional airfield from raw terrain. They build expeditionary airfields in deserts, jungles, and remote islands — wherever Marine aircraft need to operate. The Sweathogs also provide aviation ground support including fuel, ordnance handling areas, crash/fire/rescue, weather services, and base defense. This PVC patch is built as tough as the Sweathogs themselves — waterproof, fade-resistant, and ready for the field.
This PVC patch honors MWSS-273's expeditionary airfield mission.
Perfect For: MWSS-273 Sweathogs airfield Marines, expeditionary airfield construction specialists, Marine aviation ground support professionals, and wing support squadron PVC patch collectors.
Sweathogs build it — MWSS-273.
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.
