Official VMGR-352 Raiders Det B Patches — The Forward-Deployed Tanker Detachment
When the squadrons downrange need fuel, parts, or personnel moved, Det B gets the call.
Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 (VMGR-352) — the 'Raiders' — flies the KC-130J Super Hercules from MCAS Miramar, California, under MAG-11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. VMGR-352 provides the aerial refueling, assault support transport, and tactical cargo delivery that keeps the Marine Air-Ground Task Force in the fight. Det B represents a forward-deployed detachment element of the Raiders, operating away from the squadron's home base to provide aerial refueling and transport capability closer to the point of need. Detachment operations are a critical part of the KC-130J community — small teams of pilots, loadmasters, crew chiefs, and maintainers operating from austere locations to extend the reach and endurance of Marine tactical aircraft. The KC-130J is the only fixed-wing aircraft in the Marine Corps capable of aerial refueling both fixed-wing jets and tiltrotor aircraft, making VMGR squadrons essential to every major Marine operation. Det B carries the Raiders' standard wherever the Marine Corps needs tanker and transport support. These patches represent the detachment and the Marines who deployed forward to keep the mission going.
Perfect For: VMGR-352 Raiders Marines past and present, KC-130J Hercules aircrew and maintainers, Det B deployment veterans, MCAS Miramar personnel, and anyone who has served in the Marine aerial refueler transport community.
