Ordnance Flag Patch — Aviation Ordnance American Flag Embroidered Patch

Ordnance wings over Old Glory—the aviation ordnanceman's flag patch, honoring the Marines and sailors who build, load, and deliver the weapons that make American airpower lethal.

The Aviation Ordnance community is one of the most critical and dangerous specialties in military aviation—the men and women who handle, assemble, load, and maintain every bomb, missile, rocket, and round of ammunition that goes on a military aircraft. From AGM-114 Hellfire missiles on AH-1Z Vipers to precision-guided JDAMs on F-35 Lightning IIs to 20mm ammunition for Gatling cannons, aviation ordnancemen are responsible for ensuring that every weapon is properly assembled, safely handled, and correctly loaded so that it functions exactly as designed when a pilot pulls the trigger or releases a bomb.

The aviation ordnance wings—the winged bomb insignia—are among the most recognizable specialty insignia in military aviation, worn by ordnancemen across the Navy and Marine Corps. Ordnancemen are identified by their red shirts on carrier flight decks and are known for the unique combination of technical knowledge, physical strength, and meticulous attention to detail their job demands. A single mistake in ordnance handling can have catastrophic consequences, making the ordnanceman's profession one that requires absolute precision under the most stressful conditions imaginable.

This American flag patch integrates the aviation ordnance wings with the stars and stripes, celebrating the patriotic service of ordnancemen who ensure American combat aircraft carry the firepower needed to defend the nation. Whether on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, the flight line of a Marine Corps air station, or a forward arming and refueling point in a combat zone, aviation ordnancemen are the professionals who make airpower possible.

Perfect For: Aviation ordnancemen across all branches, red shirt carrier flight deck crews, Marine Corps aviation ordnance Marines, bomb builders and weapons loaders, and military aviation enthusiasts who appreciate the dangerous art of aircraft weapons handling.

Ordnance wings over the flag—honoring the men and women who load the weapons that keep American airpower the most lethal force on the planet.
