Officially Licensed USMC MWSS-171 The Sentinels Squadron Sticker — Standing Watch Over the Airfield
The Sentinels of MWSS-171 guard the airfield and build it from nothing — because that's what wing support does.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, the Sentinels, provide expeditionary airfield services including construction, fueling, crash-fire rescue, airfield damage repair, and base defense. MWSS-171 ensures that Marine aviation can operate from austere locations by building and maintaining the airfield infrastructure that aircraft need to launch and recover. The Sentinels' mission is foundational — without wing support, there is no airfield, and without an airfield, there is no Marine aviation.
Perfect For: MWSS-171 veterans, Marine wing support personnel, expeditionary airfield Marines, and USMC support squadron sticker collectors.
The Sentinels stand watch — so the airfield stays open and the mission keeps flying.
