VMGR-252 SPMAGTF Patch — One Last Ride on the Herc
Otis and the crew of VMGR-252 loaded up the KC-130 for one last ride — and this patch tells that story.
Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 (VMGR-252), based at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, operates the KC-130J Super Hercules providing aerial refueling, assault transport, and tactical logistics support. This SPMAGTF deployment patch commemorates a specific rotation where VMGR-252 served as part of a Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force, delivering the long-range lift and refueling capability that makes forward-deployed Marine operations possible. The KC-130 is the workhorse of Marine aviation logistics, and VMGR-252 crews have been flying the Hercules in harm's way for decades, earning the quiet respect of every Marine they've supported.
Perfect For: VMGR-252 aircrew and maintainers, KC-130 Hercules enthusiasts, SPMAGTF veterans, Cherry Point Marines, and Marine transport aviation collectors.
Here for the ride — and every mission that matters.
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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
