Officially Licensed USMC VMO-2 Squadron Patch — Marine Observation Squadron 2 Embroidered Patch
The eyes of the division — VMO-2 flew low and slow so the ground Marines knew what was coming.
Marine Observation Squadron 2 (VMO-2) was one of the Marine Corps' original observation and reconnaissance squadrons, providing aerial observation, artillery spotting, forward air control, and armed helicopter escort for ground forces. VMO-2's lineage stretches back to the early days of Marine aviation, and the squadron saw extensive combat in Korea and Vietnam. In Vietnam, VMO-2 flew the UH-1E Huey and OV-10 Bronco in some of the most dangerous missions in the war — visual reconnaissance, helicopter gunship escort, and forward air control over hostile territory. The VMO designation eventually evolved as Marine light attack and observation missions were consolidated into HMLA squadrons, but VMO-2's legacy represents the origins of Marine rotary-wing armed reconnaissance. This patch reproduces the early 1970s squadron design.
Perfect For:
VMO-2 veterans, OV-10 Bronco and UH-1E Huey aviators, Marine observation and light attack aviation historians, Vietnam-era USMC aviators, and legacy squadron patch collectors.
VMO-2. The eyes of the division.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
