Product Description

US Customs & Border Protection – Brown Field Air Unit – With Hook and Loop

The Cart Donkeys of Brown Field — field-ready on the San Diego border.

The CBP Air Unit at Brown Field, located just south of San Diego near the U.S.-Mexico border, operates in one of the busiest and most closely watched border corridors in the country. The unit's unofficial nickname, the "Cart Donkeys," comes from the fact that every aircraft they fly requires a ground-handling cart — a distinction the unit wears with pride. Brown Field Air Unit personnel fly detection, monitoring, and interdiction missions along the Southern California border, providing aerial surveillance over urban smuggling corridors, rugged canyon terrain, and coastal approaches. This hook-and-loop variant is designed for operational wear on flight suits and tactical gear.

Perfect For:
CBP Brown Field Air Unit personnel, Air and Marine Operations pilots and agents, San Diego-area border enforcement professionals, and CBP aviation patch collectors.

The Cart Donkeys — hauling everything but the cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
