Officially Licensed USMC VMM-764 Moonlight Squadron Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 764 MV-22 Osprey Embroidered Patch
Moonlight — VMM-764 brings the Osprey from the Reserve, flying under the cover of darkness.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 764 (VMM-764), callsign "Moonlight," is a Marine Corps Reserve tiltrotor squadron operating the MV-22B Osprey. The Moonlight callsign evokes the nighttime operations that are a hallmark of Marine aviation — the ability to insert Marines under cover of darkness, when the enemy is least prepared and most vulnerable. VMM-764's Reserve Marines maintain combat-ready Osprey crews who train to active-duty standards, standing prepared to augment the fleet Marine Force on short notice.
As a Reserve tiltrotor squadron, VMM-764 represents a critical component of the Marine Corps' total force aviation capability. The MV-22B Osprey's unique tiltrotor design allows vertical takeoff and landing combined with the speed and range of a turboprop aircraft, giving the MAGTF commander an assault support platform that reaches farther and faster than any helicopter. VMM-764's citizen Marines balance demanding civilian careers with the rigorous requirements of maintaining qualification in one of the most complex military aircraft in service, ensuring they can seamlessly integrate with active-duty squadrons when called upon.
Perfect For:
VMM-764 Moonlight members and veterans, Marine Corps Reserve tiltrotor aviators, MV-22 Osprey enthusiasts, and USMC Reserve squadron patch collectors.
