H&MS-56 — USMC Embroidered Patch
Reserve Maintenance Excellence
H&MS-56 represents the dedication of Marine Corps Reserve maintainers who kept MAG-56's aircraft mission-ready while balancing their military duties with civilian careers. This officially licensed patch honors the citizen Marines whose maintenance skills ensured reserve aviation units could deploy alongside active duty forces.
Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 56 served as the maintenance and administrative backbone of Marine Aircraft Group 56 within the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron's reserve Marines maintained the same rigorous maintenance standards as their active duty counterparts, ensuring that MAG-56's aircraft were always ready for training, exercises, and real-world deployments. When called upon, H&MS-56 Marines seamlessly integrated with active component maintenance operations, proving that reserve maintainers deliver the same quality of work that keeps Marine aviation flying.
Perfect For:
H&MS-56 veterans, MAG-56 Reserve Marines, 4th MAW maintenance personnel, and Marine Corps Reserve aviation collectors.
Reserve Maintainers, Active Standards.
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.
