Desperados — Keeping Reserve Aviation Flying
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 41 proves that the reserve component can maintain the same exacting standards of aircraft maintenance and logistics support as any active-duty unit. This coin recognizes the Desperados of MALS-41, the Marines and sailors who keep Marine Aircraft Group 41's aircraft mission-ready from their home at NAS JRB Fort Worth, Texas.
MALS-41 operates under the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing as part of Marine Forces Reserve, providing intermediate-level maintenance and logistics support to MAG-41's reserve aviation squadrons. The Desperados maintain aircraft readiness through weekend drills, annual training periods, and mobilization deployments, ensuring that reserve aviation units can seamlessly integrate with active-duty forces when called. The squadron's maintainers, avionics technicians, and supply Marines bring the same dedication and technical proficiency found at any active-duty MALS — often while balancing civilian careers alongside their Marine Corps responsibilities.
Perfect For:
MALS-41 Marines and sailors, MAG-41 aviation personnel, 4th MAW reservists, NAS JRB Fort Worth Marines, reserve aviation maintenance professionals, and anyone who keeps the reserve fleet flying.
Desperados — reserve maintenance, active-duty standards.
