Officially Licensed MASS-2 Marine Aviation Support Squadron Patch — Marine Air Support Squadron 2 Pacific Vagabonds Embroidered Patch
The Pacific Vagabonds — MASS-2, the Direct Air Support Center operators who ensure every Marine close air support mission hits the right target at the right time.
Marine Air Support Squadron 2 (MASS-2), the "Pacific Vagabonds," is a USMC aviation command and control squadron based at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, as part of Marine Air Control Group 18 (MACG-18), 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. MASS-2 operates the Direct Air Support Center (DASC), the critical command and control node that manages close air support requests from ground units and coordinates the allocation of air assets to support Marines in contact with the enemy.
The DASC is the vital link between the infantry Marine calling for air support and the attack aircraft that delivers it. MASS-2's controllers receive close air support requests, prioritize them based on tactical urgency, assign available aircraft, and coordinate the execution of fire missions. In the heat of combat, MASS-2's Marines ensure that air support arrives when and where it's needed most, preventing friendly fire incidents while maximizing the lethality of Marine aviation.
Based on Okinawa as part of the forward-deployed III Marine Expeditionary Force, the "Pacific Vagabonds" name reflects MASS-2's expeditionary mission — ready to deploy anywhere in the Pacific on short notice, setting up DASC operations in austere environments to support the MAGTF.
Perfect For: MASS-2 Pacific Vagabonds members and veterans, MACG-18 community, Marine air command and control professionals, DASC operators, and Marine aviation support patch collectors.
MASS-2 Pacific Vagabonds — wandering the Pacific, directing the thunder — every CAS mission goes through the Vagabonds.
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.
