Official US Navy V-22 Carrier Onboard Delivery COD Patch — The Mailman Always Delivers
Mail, parts, people, and hope — all delivered to a floating city at sea.
Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) is one of the Navy's most critical and least glamorous missions — getting personnel, mail, cargo, and high-priority parts to aircraft carriers operating hundreds of miles from shore. For decades, the C-2A Greyhound handled this mission, and now the CMV-22B Osprey is taking over, bringing tiltrotor speed, range, and versatility to the logistics fight. The CMV-22B can carry up to 6,000 pounds of cargo or personnel, and its ability to take off and land vertically means it can operate from carrier flight decks without catapult launches or arrested landings. Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadrons are now operating the CMV-22B in the COD role, delivering the critical supplies and personnel that keep carrier strike groups operational on station. This patch celebrates the COD mission in the V-22 era — because the most important thing on the flight deck isn't always a fighter jet. Sometimes it's a pallet of F414 engine parts and a bag of mail from home.
Perfect For: CMV-22B Osprey crews and maintainers, VRM squadron personnel, C-2A Greyhound veterans, carrier logistics professionals, and anyone who knows that nothing keeps morale higher than mail call at sea.
COD — because carriers don't resupply themselves.
