MALS-11 Devilfish — USMC Embroidered Patch
The Devilfish of Miramar
MALS-11 is the oldest aviation logistics unit in the Marine Corps, with roots stretching back to 1921. The "Devilfish" have been keeping Marine fixed-wing aircraft in the fight for over a century, from the first attacks against Viet Cong forces to the precision strikes of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This officially licensed patch represents that unmatched legacy.
Tracing its lineage to Flight 1, 2nd Air Squadron at Quantico in December 1921, MALS-11 is the descendant of the Marine Corps' original aviation support element. During World War II, the unit fought across the Solomon Islands, New Britain, Peleliu, and the Philippines. At Da Nang in Vietnam, the squadron supported 12 different aircraft types. Redesignated MALS-11 in 1988, the unit deployed for Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning the Secretary of Defense Award for Maintenance Excellence and the Marine Corps Aviation Association Marion Carl Award. Based at MCAS Miramar supporting MAG-11's F/A-18 Hornets and KC-130J Super Hercules.
Perfect For:
MALS-11 Devilfish veterans and active duty Marines, MAG-11 personnel, MCAS Miramar community, F/A-18 maintenance Marines, and aviation logistics collectors.
Devilfish — A Century of Excellence.
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.
