Official HSM-72 Proud Warrior Command Flag Patch — The Chief's Colors
When the Proud Warriors fly the command flag, you know the boss is in the house.
HSM-72 "Proud Warriors" is a United States Navy Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron flying the MH-60R Seahawk out of NAS Jacksonville, Florida. Part of Carrier Air Wing 1, the Proud Warriors deploy aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), providing anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, search and rescue, and communications relay capabilities to the carrier strike group. Originally established as HSL-42 in 1984 and redesignated HSM-72 in January 2013 at NAS Jacksonville, the squadron has deployed extensively — including recent combat operations in the Red Sea against Houthi forces. During one deployment alone, HSM-72 maintained 24-hour coverage across 65,000 miles of transit and logged over 6,500 flight hours. This command flag patch represents the leadership and authority of the Proud Warriors — a squadron that takes the fight wherever the fleet goes.
Perfect For: HSM-72 Proud Warriors aircrew and sailors, MH-60R Seahawk community, CVW-1 personnel, USS Harry S. Truman crew, NAS Jacksonville squadrons, and anyone who served with the Proud Warriors.
HSM-72 Proud Warriors — proud, prepared, and always on station.
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.
