MALS-49 Magicians — USMC Embroidered Patch
East Coast Reserve Magicians
The Magicians of MALS-49 make reserve aviation logistics look effortless — but behind the magic is the hard work of dedicated citizen Marines who maintain combat-ready helicopter squadrons while balancing military duties with civilian careers. This officially licensed patch represents that remarkable dedication.
MALS-49 provides aviation logistics support, guidance, planning, and direction to Marine Aircraft Group 49 squadrons within the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing. Based at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, the Magicians maintain reserve rotary wing aircraft to the same exacting standards as active duty MALS units. The squadron's Marines bring valuable civilian aviation expertise to the Marine Corps Reserve, providing a unique force multiplier when activated for real-world operations. MALS-49's commitment to logistics excellence ensures that East Coast reserve helicopter aviation remains a credible and ready combat force.
Perfect For:
MALS-49 Magicians veterans, MAG-49 Reserve Marines, 4th MAW logistics personnel, and Marine Corps Reserve aviation collectors.
