H&MS-27 — USMC Embroidered Patch
Wing Support Squadron Heritage
H&MS-27 represents the Marine aviation support professionals who ensured their wing's ground support operations ran flawlessly. This officially licensed patch honors the Marines who built and maintained the infrastructure that Marine aviation depends on — from expeditionary airfields to fuel farms to communications networks.
Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 27 served within the Marine Aircraft Wing support structure, providing critical ground support functions including engineer support, bulk fuels, landing zone support, motor transport, supply, and base security. The squadron's Marines were responsible for creating and maintaining the austere operating environments from which Marine aviation projects power. Whether establishing a forward expeditionary airfield or sustaining operations at a major air station, H&MS-27 Marines were the foundation that made Marine air operations possible.
Perfect For:
H&MS-27 veterans and their families, Marine Wing Support Squadron personnel, Marine aviation ground support community, and USMC unit patch collectors.
